[TYPO3-doc] Fragmented wiki.typo3.org

[ben van 't ende]

Heyla Daniel,

Thanks for your reaction. Ping me if I can be a go-between for things. we
desperately need someone to take care of the WIKI that is for sure. Of course
there is no greater reward to be found than getting the recognition of being our
WIKI MAN ;)
