[General] Desktop import/export wiki page

[Katie Capps Parlante]

I'm in agreement that the page is for end users (not primarily a 
planning page). I do think that a little bit of information on related 
bugs is interesting/useful for users -- they could want to know if/when 
we plan on fixing a bug or adding support for something.

My main complaint with the current page is that the "description" column 
is all scrunched and unreadable. I'd rather have a list of products and 
link to detailed instructions than try and read that as is.

Cheers,
Katie
