I liked the *look* and *organization* of the old site. I was not much
of a fan of the software platform it ran on, which was the reason we
created Seam Wiki - to fix the problems we had experienced on cowiki.

Well, I'm not at all convinced that these things are done much better
on jboss.org. Seam Wiki, on the other hand, does them quite well. (Not
perfect, but Good Enough.)

This is a political/organizational problem. i.e. it is an invented
issue, not a Real issue.
