A rationality wiki seems like a nice thing to have, but I wonder if the current wiki framework is sufficient unto the task. I would like to see comments with threading and voting on the wiki page, and be able to publish the wiki page as though a blog post - which might be a small task of integration, or might be a very large one. I tried to build a wiki earlier, on a certain subject that may not be named, and it sorta petered out. I'd love to have the rationalist equivalent of TVTropes but I'm not entirely sure how to go about getting it - it might require a larger audience to start with, for one thing.
The question is, would such a wiki have the mind-sucking powers of TVTropes?
"Overcoming Bias is a serious trip, particularly if you’ve let yourself get intellectually lazy. It’s a bigger, and far more productive, time sink than Wikipedia or even TV Tropes." - http://ricketyclick.com/blog/index.php/2008/06/12/quote-of-the-day-wearing-the-clown-suit/
Mind-sucking seems to be a general property of wikis, not just TVTropes. Even the original wiki is a huge potential time sink.
We'll make sure of it. :)
