Well there are four reasons why we though on the website would be better.

a) The wiki is less "set" so doesn't give the same feeling (ie. anyone 
can add or remove things), we really want to make it similar to the BoD 
page where people who are very active get more of a standout thank you. 
We agreed that this in general is a good thing, sometimes "a pat on the 
back" and some acknowledgement goes a long way for projects where we're 
not paid and often times not even thanked by those we help ;)

b) The page won't be updated much. This will be for people who we have 
found to be particularly helpful, have contributed or are expected to 
contribute a lot, have shown dedication, and are likely to be involved 
going into the future. We do have the QA team wiki page but this we 
update very frequently, if someone hops in the chat and shows a little 
initiative we encourage them to add their name

c) The website might give a clearer picture to users as to who is the 
"core team" & thus they can expect feedback from, vs. the wiki currently 
has a mix of people who are "kind of involved" vs. people are who very 
involved.

d) On a webpage it's much easer for us to write  a professional blurb 
about ourselves that isn't about LibreOffice at all. To build community 
it's good to say "what we do outside of the project"

We could just have a link on the QA get involved page that says "meet 
the core team" or some such thing. I don't see why this couldn't be a 
model for other branches of LibreOffice as well.
