Unless there are better suggestions, your site is fine with me.
One other thing-- we need to clarify how the content of the wiki
is licensed.
I assume (and hope) that the intent is for the content to be freely
usable in the most flexible way. But, this has to be explicit.
An issue we ran into with the ePAPR was that on the IEEE
1275 working group site (http://playground.sun.com/1275/home.html)
that there were bindings that we wanted to include in the ePAPR,
but the stuff on 1275 site was not copyrighted and no license
was specified. This meant that we were in a legally murky
situation if we cut and pasted anything from one of those
document.
My suggestion is to specify that all content of this wiki are
released to the public domain. How to do this is a bit tricky
but Creative Commons has a license called CC0 that does
this by waving your copyright rights.
Your wiki currently has the following statement above the commit
message:
Please note that all contributions to FDTWiki may be edited, altered,
or removed by other contributors. If you do not want your writing to
be edited mercilessly, then do not submit it here.
You are also promising us that you wrote this yourself, or copied it
from a public domain or similar free resource (see
FDTWiki:Copyrights for details). Do not submit copyrighted work
without permission!
I would suggest appending the following statement to the above
text:
You irrevocably agree to release your contribution to the public
domain. To the extent possible under law, you waive all copyright or
neighboring rights to your contribution. See [CC0|link-to-CC0].
The above language comes from generated text of the CC0 tool from
Creative Commons.
