I realize that I was hardly the first or only person to suggest a wiki, but what I had in mind was something like the resources available at talk.origins for people wanting to know about the scientific evidence for biological evolution and the nature of Creationism.

You don't find biographies of Richard Dawkins or even Charles Darwin there, and you certainly don't find the histories of minor footsoldiers in the Culture Wars. What you DO find is factual information, lists of claims, and arguments for/against those claims, complete with links to evidence and substantiation if needed.

That's the sort of thing I was hoping people would create, when they set out to make a rationality wiki.
