Right now, they don't need to, but having them as static pages with
strange name (I had to guess the 00e5 part of the URL to find the
page ...) is not optimal when it comes to editing ;-). Nothing urgent
though. Scott said he had plans to host a wiki on git-scm.com, it can
probably wait until that.

I think it makes sense to add a link, so that more generally than the
SoC context, pages containing ideas link to each other. How about this:
