Hi Alex,

Actually, I was interested in suggestions to make it easier to find
information such as the contact information. It is a wiki, and it is a
community effort, so if you could spare the time to improve the wiki, it
would benefit the project.

Now *I* am confused. The Fiji website and the Fiji wiki is exactly the
same. Both are
http://fiji.sc/ because the Fiji website *is* the wiki.
As to the ImageJ website:
http://imagej.net/ is the ImageJ view on the
same wiki, transparently integrating also the ImageJ 1.x website so that
you never have to leave the domain.
The only time you "leave" the website is when you click the download
button – this leads to the Jenkins subdomain, but you do not exactly see a
different page because the download starts right away, yes?
I also do not know where the Fiji wiki guided you to GitHub – unless you
entered the developer-centric parts of the wiki.
In short, I would be really grateful if you could spare the time to
identify where readers are led into the wrong direction and gave it a try
to make it less confusing.

Actually, if you compare
http://fiji.sc/index.php?title=Fiji&action=history and
http://imagej.net/index.php?title=Fiji&action=history you will find that
the edits are identical. The reason is that the Fiji/ImageJ wiki is really
backed by the same document management system, and only the appearance is
different between the Fiji and the ImageJ domains.

Ah. If you refer to
http://fiji.sc/Fiji#Support then I agree: it could be
misunderstood. It is more about "Financial Support to keep Fiji alive"
than "Support by the Fiji community for the community", i.e. it reflects
what I am currently worrying about personally, as opposed to the
information you sought.
Again, the wiki is a community resource, and if you find anything that
could be improved, you should feel more than just free to change it, by
way of saying thanks for what has been provided to you free of cost.
Ciao,
Johannes
