Dragaera wiki

Would anyone (else) on this list be interested in contributing to a Dragaera-centric wiki, assuming I started it? 

It seems that a lot of good could be gotten out of it. Both informed speculation and good articles on known and explored topics could be housed there; it would have a lot of the advantages of a mailing list, with the added advantages of being more easily accesible to the public and being simpler to use and maintain, as well as not showing up in inboxes. 

To begin with, we might want to get permission from Mark Mandel to use selected parts of Cracks And Shards as starting points; for example,  I don't think that his article on 'Brusts, plural' could be improved upon, and I for one wouldn't want to try. 

Ideally, I'd want to use the wikicities.com service, assuming that a Dragaera-centric wiki was acceptable to their 'broad interest' policy. (They have ones already hosted for Lord Of The Rings, Star Trek, and Doom - it's possible. Esides, Dragaera fans love to argue. I can only imagine we'd be equally interested in expanding a wiki.) This is because the wikimedia engine is one of the best - it allows easy separatino of content from discussion, and doesn't use CamelCase. However, failing that, pbwiki would be a quick and easy solution. Indeed, considering the nature of the wiki in question, it might be better. Thoughts? 

Come on, who amoung us has never contemplated making a Dragaera webpage for all the little details only we ever seemed to catch? Now we can *all* make one together! (Assuming enough people are interested.)
