Is there any reason why we don't just use the existing Wiki as the Default

I'm not so sure this is a good idea.
I think a wiki is an excellent collaboration device for support,
because it can be updated easily and by any concerned party... but I
think these features actually make it a *bad* match for a home page.
This is where the "official" information regarding the project should
be found. Of course, you could restrict edits to the "official" pages
to the regular contributors, but then why are you using a wiki?
I quite agree. Wikis also result in navigation structures that shout
"this was designed by committee, i.e. not at all." Sometimes they're
useful, but more often they turn into black holes of time-consuming,
interesting discussions that don't answer the question.
Wiki sites are supposed to be structure-simple and content-rich. I
think a project home page needs to be structure-rigid as well as
content-rich.
This doesn't mean that the wiki doesn't have a place, but it doesn't
have to be the main home page to be a useful resource.
I think you've hit the nail on the head with both these paragraphs.
