Hello Thomas,

congratulations on the new home!

As the Wiki now has a more prominent URL I would suggest to fix the
"/index.php" part in the URL and replace it by "/wiki" (as all Wikipedia
sites have it). The setup is described here:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#Recommended_how-to_guide_.28setup_used_on_Wikipedia.29

In order not to break existing references all requests to "/index.php/"
could be permanently redirected to "/wiki/" (to then resolve with the
new setup).

I'd love to see this happening!
Cheers, Peter
