Right now, they don't need to, but having them as static pages with strange name (I had to guess the 00e5 part of the URL to find the page ...) is not optimal when it comes to editing ;-). Nothing urgent though. Scott said he had plans to host a wiki on git-scm.com, it can probably wait until that.

I think it makes sense to add a link, so that more generally than the SoC context, pages containing ideas link to each other. How about this:
