I'm not sure I agree with having ALL development related content on a wiki.
Certain subjects, such as Tutorials, Roadmap, etc are good to have on the
wiki because of the ability for users to modify it.  But others, such as
Manuals (including man pages) and certain Tutorials (such as installation),
are fairly static and actually should be updated as easily as updating a
wiki page.  Examples of this would be, as I mentioned before, man pages,
library references, and installaton tutorials.

In my opinion, we should have a more hybrid Development section, where
things that are meant to change frequently are located in the wiki, and
others on the main site.

I like this idea, this is exactly the type of thing that needs to be
wikisized.  The GNUstep wiki already has a pretty extensive list of apps
which can be used.

Not sure I like the Forums idea.  There's nothing a forum offers that a well
defined set of mailing lists don't (with this I'm also suggesting somewhat
of a refactoring for the mailing lists, GNUstep currently has 10).

The wishlist should probably be maintained in the wiki, and we'll just
provide a link to it!
