There have been many efforts over the past 20 years for this. Seen the
wiki lately? Hasn't been touched in years... (or was when I last checked).

As someone who has edited many of those wiki articles, I absolutely feel
that pain. It has got to the point where I'm treating the wiki as my
own personal encyclopaedia, and if someone else gets value from it once
in a while, that's great.

I'm not ordinarily a sunny optimist, but in this case I might make an
exception. The midrange community /is/ behind the curve when it comes
to community-supported software, community-supported wikis, and
community-supported forums. But history shows that even the most niche
interest group eventually embraces the community-supported concept.

It's my opinion, worth every penny you paid for it, that what we need is
a little more repetition, so the community sees the idea again and
again. People will drift toward it, and eventually with enough
repetition and enough drifting, it will reach a critical mass.
