A good idea worth considering.

First, I urge caution using the web forum for sub discussion.  
Unfortunately, the people with the most knowledge in our group whom are 
able to guide people correctly do not have a preference for that type of 
venue.  There is some amount of misinformation within it.  While I have 
no aversion to the forum, even I am very lax at going in there regularly 
to do any cleanup or check out any new posts.  Perhaps this is the time 
to discuss this with the advisory council and see whether we keep that 
forum or not.

However, using the forum as a wiki is a great idea since it makes 
managing it rather simple.  All we need is a wiki-manager.
