One other thing still on SourceForge is part of the original CVS repo, 
which is empty except for the old version of the wiki. I still have a 
git repo with (AFAIK) the most recent version of the wiki at my 
Bitbucket account. I was going to ask at some point if everyone wanted 
it moved upstream to source.winehq.org, but now seems like an 
appropriate time.

I was waiting because it has a couple branches at the very end (for 
different upgrade paths on the server), but I guess those don't have to 
be cloned into the upstream repo. I could just keep my repo open in case 
Dimi wants to use those last patches to help with the upgrade. I tried 
emailing him a while back to see if I could do anything else to wrap up 
loose ends on the wiki, but he didn't reply so I figure he's busy.
