Why is the meta version of this page

the forums got the answer from the Rob Church and Rotem Liss posts (13th May

If the old meta page is really supposed to be replaced by this mediawiki
version then shouldn't we just stick a redirect on it? Otherwise we have the

A lot of that page, however, is old, crap, out of date, badly written
or contains too many questions that AREN'T frequently asked.
The problem is a lack of time to move the stuff across; I was in the
process of slowly rewriting the FAQ using headings from the old one as
ideas on what should be covered, but ran out of time.
