Since everything is constantly evolving am not sure if anything that we
write might not have to be constantly reviewed and edited to remain
current...  Really think we need something that responds well to the
dynamics of the hobby....   Needs also to be low maintenance...  

Is this something that a Wiki could be used to support?

I seem to recall this was tried years ago. If I recall, folks divided up
the work. I don't recall ever seeing the end results. Perhaps people who
contributed could resurect the work they started, so you're not starting
from scratch.
