[LLVMdev] Wiki?

[Vikram S. Adve]

In principle, having a Wiki like this would be valuable.  In practice,  
I think there will need to be some sanity checking to make sure  
incorrect or misleading information is not added to it.

The old Wiki below isn't up any more.  We can set one up on llvm.org.
