(Alexandre is the first name, not the second name :))

Actually, there were not many commits to that spec in the wiki. As a
matter of fact, wiki is rather a good way to show what we have now. I
would rather prefer to see more contribution from developers, but
adopting is slow, and even GIMP team goes their own way by creating
GIMP repository of assets.

When it comes to having OpenRaster spec in the wiki -- that might be
okay. But remember that amount of useful contributions will be pretty
the same as if the spec was a, say, LaTeX file in SVN :)
