[Replicant] Request for wiki edit permission

[markmatney]

Fil,

Thank you for reviewing my changes. I think your edit re: GPU
rendering is an improvement (and expresses a sentiment that I
share).

I will send over some of my thoughts about the wiki.

Mark

It is not immediately clear where to start, and a new user currently has to sift through too many words in order to find out. I also think most if not all of the top-level sections ("Supported devices", etc.) would fit better in their own dedicated page, much like the main page of <wiki.archlinux.org>.
