The wiki was cleaned up more or less at the same time as the
qemu-web.git repo was created (actually as a prerequisite), it's
actually not in a bad shape. The idea was that the wiki kept:
- stuff that really belonged in documentation (such as completed
features and developer information)
- stuff that needs to be edited quickly (such as feature pages or or
internship ideas)
- developer-targeted information that doesn't belong in documentation
(such as CI status), even if it's linked from qemu.org (e.g.
https://www.qemu.org/contribute/
while qemu-web got the more user-targeted information. This is because
updating qemu-web is a bit slower, requiring review and all that.
We can certainly move some wiki pages to qemu-web, like we did for
"report a bug" in the past and like Alex did recently for the
Conservancy page. But I think there aren't that many left, most of them
are in the first category above and should be moved to docs/devel (for
example https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch).
Once we have docs CI on GitLab we can easily link to them from
qemu-web.git, so setting up docs CI is probably a good first step
towards relying more on GitLab and also cleaning up the wiki.
