I could see this going to Hubs or something else.

We want this to be as zero-friction as possible for maintainers,
FESCo, etc. -- seems internally facing, and thus appropriate for wiki.

-1 more wikis but +1 namespaces! :-)



Quoting Paul's opinions 100%, specially events should go to the ambassadors team hub once we get it ready.
Speaking about Hubs:
At Flock we spoke also about having a sort of entry page where we put on groups, what they do etc, whatcanidoforfedora.org (asknow-ng) will help us with it. This could be the base for a new join.fedoraproject.org webpage, or even just fedoraproject.org. The actual status of the hubs project is "work in progress", but we have some mockups and a first test application (very small), anyway, hubs will not be ready before January 2016, and even in 4 months we will probably only have it partially deployed.
Finally I also see user pages fitting perfectly into hubs, as every user will have its personal space there. The goal of the user space is to manage all the stuff which actually is distributed on more apps in one place, therefore also the content which now we have in the wiki.
