[OSM-newbies] Wiki Clean-up (Was: Welcome WG meeting notes)

[Roger Calvert]

Just a suggestion:

In teaching myself OSM, I have kept finding wiki pages on various 
topics, often from links given on the email lists. But there doesn't 
seem anywhere to be an index of all the wiki pages which exist. Could 
such an index page be generated and made easily visible fromthe OSM home 
pages? Or, if it already exists, but I haven't found it, could it be 
made more visible?
