And it will make the community more visible.

Same over the gentoo/emacs wiki.

It seems to me that it was kind of some trouble that the wiki was hosted
by a third party at gentoo.

The only thing that I can think of, is that given the fact that guix 
will be soon distributed over gnunet. It makes more sens to have the 
official wiki also hosted on gnunet and make a copy of it available for 
reading on the www. Sure it's not done yet, and it needs to be coded. I 
think that we have all the pieces to make something like that happen.
