+First, it's great that you want to give something back to the notmuch\r
+project.  As a project, I think we should be primarily concerned with\r
+the quality of the official documentation that ships with the software,=20\r
+but I recognize that some things are too transient or specialized to fit\r
+in the official docs.\r
+\r
+Personally, I would much rather you help improve the notmuch wiki than\r
+fork it.\r
+\r
+If you want to have your personal site, like a blog, of course that's\r
+fine. But if you expect other people to contribute to your wiki instead\r
+of the official one (and the generic name kind of suggests that you do,\r
+as compared to mocker.org), then I think it isn't helpful. The set of\r
+contributors to the wiki (like the overall notmuch community) is\r
+extremely small, and splitting that will decrease the quality of both\r
+splits.\r
+\r
+If there are technical barriers preventing contributing to the notmuch\r
+wiki, then the folk on #notmuch would be happy to help with that.  It\r
+might just be that you prefer some other wiki software; unfortunately\r
+these are the sorts of compromises needed to make free software projects\r
+(and other projects) work.  Or you can agitate to have the project\r
+change it's wiki, if you feel that strongly about it.\r
