Thanks for saying nice things about my article.
I tried really hard to stay out of the comments on my post, save one person that said my referencing HN's overwhelming maleness was anti-male sexism. Can't win them all?
It's really flattering to see you propose this, and miles_mathias' effort with setting up a wiki. For what it's worth, I actually do think that there's an interesting wiki-like approach possible with something like this, but I'm not sure that I like either of these approaches. I guess I have something else in mind, a site that is somewhere UX-wise between Quora, Snopes and ... another narrative structure I can't quite put my finger on. How Stuff Works?
The problem is that it's on my list of cool ideas that I don't currently have time to implement, so I'll back anyone that wants to work on something that they are willing to put the time into.
For what it's worth, the big problem with the wiki is that it's a big blank page with no structure. You can't be surprised that nobody has added a thing to it - there's no indication of where to start. That can be fixed! But you have to show people why they should contribute, how they could contribute and finally what they should contribute... in that specific order.
