Well, my most recent comment on this was that I chose to still fetch the
Readme from SF and fix it in a future refactoring of the website. The main
motivation was to avoid manual copying around (which can be forgotten after a
while).
There is indeed an osx_readme.phtml file, but this is actually a php script
that gets the right Readme file from SF. I needed such a script because the
filename is different for stable and unstable releases, and the path is
dependent on the version of the release.

If someone sets up these wiki pages, I don't mind redoing the links on the
main website.
If you prefer, I can even setup the wiki pages first time. However, I'd love
to get some more information on the wiki structure. Are there some conventions
on what should go where, or is this mostly ad-hoc ?
Sidenote: from your previous mails I gather you will keep the readme file on
sourceforge as well ? Or will you create a link there to the proper wiki page
? The former gets us back at duplicating effort. Or even additional effort,
because the input for a wiki page is not html, so the Readme file would have
to be translated from html to wiki format or the other way around.
