The software is unmaintained, and the website template is next to unmaintainable. I could go on a bit more about this, but I think these two points *alone* justify moving away from it. > Well, it is not always clear how to use some of it's features, but apart > of that, why we should migrate to wiki? > > Just to clear orphaned project pages?

Again: - Less contents on www.g.o -> we can much more easily relaunch it - Users can more easily contribute to project documentation - Update/purge project documentation - Remove orphaned projects > > Why we can not just have official project pages, maintained as usual > through gorg and additional info in wiki(if it is needed, for example, > like we do on Gentoo Qt project page? > In case it wasn't clear enough yet: This is step 1 of n to get rid of gorg and GuideXML for the website (read: not main docs) aspects of Gentoo. Running two project page venues increases maintenance instead of lowering it. I intend to have less work after this change, not more.
