Exactly.  wiki == cvs == lists == code == svn.  All one machine, with one
common HTTP config.  Indeed, until I added SSL there were no separate
names for the server within the apache configuration.  There are separate
names  in DNS for potential future "split off the features" but it's
currently one server.

I'm honestly not sure how to do that without breaking links.  If I change
the document root to the wiki location then other links (that assume the
common document root) may break, or it may open up a security hole.  I'm
also not sure how to set up a redirect for a particular name's root.  Tell
me how to do it and I'll gladly implement it.

This is why there is a link to the wiki from the landing page you reach
when you hit the document root.
