Okay, the design proposal I'm asking for here is that we indeed have a
Git-backed wiki as integrated in the site as we can.

My concern in this case is that I think to avoid extra formalities, and
the practical existence of the Gitit codebase, I'm pushing toward
actually accepting the pros/cons/limitations of Gitit for now. In other
words, I want the decision to be that we work with what's available
realistically and go with that and adapt it.

So, let's not discuss further here, the issue is to make decisions via
the new process of user stories and sorting priorities in OpenProject.
That said, I think sometimes there's value in saying, "let's not spend
time designing our optimal process, let's use Gitit as an existing base
and just make the most of it." because sometimes we need to accept a
path that works and go forward rather than deliberate on every case. And
this is one where I'm proposing a specific path because it seems
practical enough and adaptable to the overall design vision, even if
that's not totally finalized. Still, I know that even that path will go
better when we understand the priorities more clearly.
