Again you are the only person I have ever heard say that they liked the 
look of the old site.

The organization?  I assume you mean the hosting of it together as a 
single wiki.  Like I said, I never liked the fact that project info and 
community content were indistinguishable.

I agree though that I would prefer that we have a consistent LnF and 
experience across the magnolia and SBS stuff

You say so.  Again, I have not looked nor used Seam so hard for me to say.

I really have no idea what this means.  I assume you mean our employer 
decision to limit the amount of software systems they want to support. 
You can question that all you want but its the reality.  Which means 
that if you want to run a site on seam wiki you will need to support it 
yourself.  That's not imaginary.

Look none of this bears on seam's website nor where y'all decide to host 
it.  Just pointing out that hibernate's situation was vastly different. 
  And also pointing out that imo you tend to have agendas and only focus 
on things which back up your perspective on that agenda.  Again, that's 
my opinion and I am sure you have a different take on it.
