I got a bit bored at work today, so I started doing a little tidying up
on the wiki.

I started this article:
http://fahwiki.net/index.php/The_Future_of_Folding%40Home in an attempt
to merge (and expand on) the content in these articles: Where_next?,
Ending_of_FAH & Next_Port. In much the same way as Bas did for FAH &
SMP.

Do you guys think there needs to be any more content added to the
article?

I'm trying to remove as many redundant links from the FAQ section as
possible so it can be rearranged into more acessible subsections.

The page looks good. It's much clearer story.

I think a good addition would be FAH_DC_limits. And possibly
Where_is_the_FAH_client_for_MY_PLATFORM%3F which is basically a
redirect to Next_Port.

And now I see you just included FAH_DC_limits while I was typing this :-)

I think a lot of the FAH_&_* pages which include hints to possible
future development should be included.

Possibly, although I would probably have merged all those articles in to one called "Alternative Platforms" which contains a section about each.

Heh heh  ;-)

I've merged most of these articles into one all encompassing
http://fahwiki.net/index.php/Alternative_FAH_Platforms article.

Some sections are verbatim copies of the originals, so I may need to go
through those again to check them, some I've completely re-written or
prepended a description to.

The only 2 sections currently missing are GPU and BOINC. I don't feel
like simply merging the content from FAH_&_GPU and FAH_&_BOINC since I
think neither is particularly informative.

Excellent work!

Concerning the BOINC and GPU info, the only informative source on this
is the Highperformance FAQ, and some f-c posts by Vijjay, but since
there is an NDA applicable to the GPU port, not much is said other
than "it's coming".

I think the best would be to rewrite the info in the FAQ into Wiki content.
