Over time, the Wine wiki front page grew rather unwieldy, so I split the developer information off into two new pages, leaving only a simplified front page behind, mostly aimed at users. It's radically simpler. Hopefully it'll be more welcoming to new users. Comments?

I mean: Make a separate developer DeveloperFaq (WikiName) Move developer related topics from FAQ to DeveloperFAQ Add question to FAQ "Where is the Developer FAQ?" to FAQ. -OR- Possibly not as a FAQ question but a very visible Note at the top. "Developers see DeveloperFaq" A shorter FAQ may look less intimidating to lazy readers thus encouraging more readers and possibly fewer "noob" questions on the list.
