The DevNet wiki has a bigger user base and is quite established among Qt
users. While being far from perfect, it is well integrated into the whole
system, including content discovery features, and makes the transition
from user to contributor easier. The wiki instance on wiki.qt-project.org
is not integrated with anything apart from the logins, and making this the
default will fragment content and add extra maintenance work for a tiny
team.

We have a long list of stuff that we want to improve in the current
system, SSO with JIRA and plenty of fixes in the wiki included.
Unfortunatly, it doesn't happen over night.

Cheers,
Alexandra
