From that URL:

"The plan currently consists of three main aims.

1)  Move existing content & community over.

2)  Figure out permissions so that this can best resemble an
‘controlled’ wiki.

3)  Basic website structure (which includes guidelines/community aims,
and actual categories e.g. articles faq etc)."

Maybe they're just learning about public relations as well?
