Well drat, I was already set to start hacking DokuWiki templates. But it's 
hard to argue with letting other people do the boring backend work, and the 
official wiki does have a more memorable address.

I think we need to make this decision in context, though. What will be stored 
on the wiki? Will it just contain information about packaging games for 
Debian, pointers to the mailing list and alioth project, and a list of games 
available in Debian? This could be easily done through the main Debian wiki, 
for sure. But if we want to include screenshots, descriptions, debtags 
relations and such for individual games, we're going to end up with a lot of 
game pages mixed in with a lot of other pages, and I think it could get 
messy, especially since the main wiki is confusing to navigate as it is. This 
might better handled with a separate wiki, or with a 'web application' of 
some sort.
