Anyone who wants to do this has been free to do so for about 10 years  
now. Personally I'll never touch such a wiki: they're a decent way of  
piling together a random slush pile of unconnected tidbits, and a  
horrible way of organizing anything.

The mad hatter's advice ("start at the beginning, and when you get to  
the end stop") simply doesn't apply to wikis. Wikis provide no help  
keeping data complete, up to date, and nonduplicative. They're a nice  
communal scratch pad for brainstorming, but the best way to find  
anything in one is google.
