Thanks.  I've been trying to RTFM, and I think I'm now making forward progress.

There were also hosting issues that prevented the Windows code from sharing the
same server as the Linux code.  I didn't create either of the licensing or
hosting issues - I just went along with them independent of my personal opinion.

I think having this would probably make sense too.  The simplest way to do this
would be to have the DNS entries updated and just point linux.openib.org to the
same IP as openib.org.  However, I would like to keep a common home page if
possible.  In fact, having a common Wiki at the home page gives the OpenIB web
content as much of a consistent look and feel as possible, independent of the
related projects.
