Proposal: MercurialDev wiki

I think it would make a lot of sense to split off the pages about
Mercurial development into a separate wiki.
After all, we do have a -devel list for some reason.
Bryan could then again subscribe to .* on the devel
wiki.
I would expect the devel wiki to have smaller change noise
than the main wiki. It sure would also be less attractive
to spammers.
In case this idea has any chance of getting reality, here are
some thoughts about the details:
I don't care about names/urls, but what about:
Mercurial wiki (current):
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi
Mercurial dev wiki (proposal):
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial-dev/wiki/index.cgi
MoinMoin supports InterWiki links:
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/InterWiki
The interwiki prefix for the Mercurial wiki currently
seems to be "Mercurial", so "MercurialDev" or something
as interwiki would do.
Links to "pagename" in another wiki can be done like
this:
wikiname:pagename
[wiki:wikiname:pagename link text]
Examples:
* Link on a dev wiki page pointing into Mercurial wiki:
Mercurial:Repository
* Link on a main wiki page pointing into MercurialDev wiki:
MercurialDev:NestedRepositories
Shorter interwiki aliases might be defined by the wiki admin
(maybe: hg = Mercurial, hg-dev = MercurialDev.
I would offer to help moving the current development related pages
to the new wiki.
