Hm, transfering the whole data between different Wikis isn't always
easy especially when they use different wiki backend.  So, I guess it
won't decrease the effort but requires copying twice.

The primary purpose of the official wiki is to replace the whole old
www.alsa-project.org pages.  Yes, eventually we can merge the
information from unofficial wiki but we should do carefuly with
confirmation of validity of the contents.  In both
www.alsa-project.org and alsa.opensrc.org, many many information are
rotten and obsoleted.  We'd need clean ups at first...

Anyway, volunteers are greatly apreciated.  It's a Wiki, and you are
free to edit!  :)
