SL4.org is unreliable, if we're going to have a wiki it should be hosted on-site.

I think that at the moment a wiki would be trouble. NPOV and the ultimate power of Jimbo are what make Wikipedia work. Other wikis work because what they discuss is not that contentious.

Whoa now. Wikis aren't just about compiling neutral encyclopedia articles or FAQs or things of that nature. Remember that the original wiki was all about contentious (programming) discussions & ideas.

Agreed. TVTropes works very well without any but the lightest semblance of neutrality.

Warning, though: It is horrendously addictive

Ironically enough, I just clicked through to see what was behind "horrendously addictive" and lost half an hour.

JUST HALF AN HOUR!?
