Yes, I think you can move ahead with those changes.
Let's see what others are saying...

That is correct.

We just hired a full time editor for the wiki. Her name is Brenda and  
she will start working after Chinese New Year (mid February). She has  
many years experience publishing and writing technical books.
I'd say give her a few weeks to familiarize herself with the whole  
thing, then she will slowly start to 'edit' the wiki by cleaning up  
broken links, rearranging/grouping content, maybe doing some  
translations into Chinese, etc.
If you like please get back to me around mid-February so I can  
introduce you to Brenda (she doesn't have an openmoko e-mail account  
yet).
We are very determined to get the wiki into better shape.
Brenda will help as an editor.
We also try to improve things on the server. The wiki version we are  
using needs to be updated and improved. Search is abysmal. The theme  
doesn't look good. etc.
But we have great content, and we will push more internal content into  
the wiki as well.

Hope this helps, thanks a lot for your initiative!
Feel free to make the changes you suggested, at least from my  
perspective it sounds good.
