[open-bibliography] Changes on openbiblio wiki

[Peter Murray-Rust]

Adrian,
I think this is a good improvement. I know how hard one has to work.

It's a good resource for those involved in the project(s) and that's
imporrtant. I can now find the Etherpads, etc. For example I need to know
whether I have a skypecon this afternoon and when. A list of these would be
useful

Fo newcomers we have two sorts:
* those who know what bibliography is and are probably involved elsewhere
* those that don't (they may even think it's biography)

For those I'd suggest a pointer to a new page entitiled something like:
"Why is Bibliography Important and what are we doing about it"

and then list on that some of the challenges we are tackling and some of the
star progress.

P.
