CM School Rallye into wiki?

I am considering moving my version of the CM School Rallye into the wiki. That will make it much easier for me to update the version on the web site, and others can contribute as well. Does this seem reasonable?

Glossary?

Do we need a glossary in the wiki? We've got a glossary for timed rallyes on the Resources page, but what about a general glossary?

That Glossary is just explaination of TSD equipment, not a general TSD glossary nor the uncompleted one I'm working on of traps.

Main Page update?

I've taken a first pass at updating the Main Page of the wiki, so that it's more of a main page and less of an invitation for people to contribute. The Community Portal is the place to invite people to contribute, and to discuss the details of contributing.

Wiki vs Main Site

We're still working out what belongs in the wiki (where any registered user can edit it), and what belongs on the main site (where only the webmaster can update anything). What are your thoughts?
