Thanks, that's the answer I was looking for.

the people who have control over the site have a lot of other stuff to focus on

If it was done on the wiki, would they need to commit time to it? It seems like a dedicated member or set of members could just write the page and present it to the community as a fait accompli. The only reason I haven't done it is that i don't feel I know enough yet. Maybe I'll do it anyway, and that will inspire more experienced LWers to come fix it. ;)

Yes, write something on the wiki and ask later for it to be placed somewhere useful. There is the problem that the people who need introductions probably aren't going to write them. If you go back to reading the sequences, it would be a good exercise to write summaries.

Yup. And for people who don't need them, it's pretty tedious.

That occurred to me as well. We'll see how that comes along.
