Make a global, all-encompassing wikipedia style wiki. Except that the content will be ONLY eyewitness accounts, i.e., the sources that wikipedia complains about lacking with [citation needed]. For example, if I as a undergrad saw RMS giving himself a sponge bath in the 3d floor men's room of the LCS, than I could put that in there, and that particular bit of lore would not be rumour anymore. Of course you would prefer verified, non-anonymous accounts. If someone put a cell phone video of BART police shooting someone, you might allow that to be anonymous because the video seems hard to fake. I'm sure you would run into many journalistic and ethical questions. The site would be best for the kind of person who would never have his own website, blog, or write a book, but happened to witness some interesting event in history. For example I have a cousin who was a volunteer fireman and helped search attics and recover bodies in New Orleans after the Katrina. He may never write his autobiography, but those stories in particular ought to be recorded somewhere. The hard part is the chicken-and-egg part of getting the project started. I'd think you would have to invest quite a bit in seeking people out, and getting them to write content or recording them and posting it as audio (volunteers could transcribe it). It would be a sink of time and money for years and years before it started to stand on it's own, and it might never really pay off economically.
