Quick followup here:

Infra has created the wiki space, it's at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Index

Again - no accounts were migrated, so you'll have to create an account
- and anyone who creates an account should be able to create pages
there. So if you plan on wikifying something, please begin doing it
here.
I (and hopefully others, and yes if you are interested this is your
invitation) will begin migrating content from w.cs.o, to the new
ASF-hosted wiki.

Do we really only get one space?  That's lame, and a retrograde step ;-(
