1. Yes. The OpenJFX wiki is editable only by specific people (or only Kevin) and it requires a lot of updating. We need either to be able to submit changes to it, or to use the GitHub wiki which is collaborative by design, in which case we need to hide the OpenJFX wiki to avoid confusion.
2. Yes. The tutorials [1] are slightly outdated (and SceneBuilder should disappear from there ASAP and point to Gluon). I don't know who controls those pages. 3. No. There's not enough traction. Jonathan Giles collects some "links of the week" and the semi-zombified /r/JavaFX subreddit is enough to indicate that we shouldn't invest yet in this direction.
