A link from the wiki to where? The wiki is supposed to take over the haskell.org site. But maybe we can still have directories that are not part of the wiki.
Some of the pages on the Haskell site simply *can't* be moved over to the wiki, Hoogle <http://haskell.org/hoogle/> springs to mind, given that its a server side application.
That's right, there's no point importing content that is already generated from source such as the Haskell Report. And we don't plan to wikify the whole of the GHC site, just some bits of it.
Ashley has a point though - we couldn't quote from the Haskell report on the wiki, or indeed quote source code from pretty much anywhere (most code has a non-PD license) if the whole wiki is PD.
I'm not a copyright lawyer, but is quoting really disallowed when it comes to source code? I know that in most countries it's perfectly legal to quote parts of book and articles, wouldn't the same apply to source code? /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862
