I'd rather just redirect lout.sf.net to the wiki site.

I don't think we should do this. Granted, the wiki is a bit on the
slow side now, but given that SF is providing a lot of free
services and has generally been good guys, I'd say I'm okay with
using the wiki as it is.

I don't feel I should subvert SF services if I don't pay for it.
SF needs to find revenue too...

I'll be doing some intermittent work on the new wiki in the next
week or two, if nobody on the list is strongly negative on it. For
reference:

New URL: http://lout.wiki.sourceforge.net/
Old URL: http://lout.sourceforge.net/index_ORIG.php
