This is one of the ideas I planned to implement myself, so I think it's
a great one.

The obstacle for me was setting up the wiki and maintaining it on a
consistent address/pipe.  N.B. when I say maintaining, I mean
maintaining it properly, e.g. dealing with authentication, user rights,
spamming, and a vast number of other details.

Hopefully, if someone commits to maintaining a general wiki for WYLUG,
this just becomes a page within it.
