[Bf-education] [Bf-docboard] blender.org - communication to mantainers

I think they both have there place. While adding to the website may not be
as easy or open, I do feel that it is easy to browse through from a users
stand point. Wiki's also have the disadvantage of people posting garbage on
them (like the ever so common having someone ask a question). Personally I
think the ideal scenario would be to have things start on the wiki and then
save the good stuff to the website. That is just my 2 cents.
