Since we are discussing using the wiki as the website, we probably have to
move the Documentation one level deeper.

My preference would be that we keep the same layout and content as the
English page.

Definitely :)

That's ok for me, given that people end up in the en/ namespace by
default.

These are good examples of namespaces we have to fix. My preference would
go to using a fairly strict namespace that matches the structure of the
site:

	en/download/
		distributions/
		mirrors/
		search/
	en/documentation/
		faq/
		forum/
		howtos/
		mailinglist/
		procedures/
		tips-and-tricks/
	en/contribute/
		bugreports/
		sig/
			artwork/
			promo/
			virtualisation/
		todo/
	en/promote/
		events/
		networks/
		websites/
	en/donate/
		media/
		shirts/
		why/
	en/about/
		history/
		support/
		team/
		what/
