Heineken .. I think one of the reasons that Lud wanted to try another approach was that although there seemed to be general support for having the Wiki .. or something like it .. there were very few people who were prepared to edit and add content to it. And as an active member of Wikipedia, I'm sure you know that the Wiki has it's own scripting language that provides the formatting and it can be a little intimidating if you're not a geek or prepared to invest the time. Anyone can reply to a thread in a Forum but it takes more effort to understand the Wiki format and how to add/modify things.
I think Lud was trying to get something that would be a little more automatic in its information collection instead of relying on people for the content .. and to some extent I agree with that approach. However, the Wiki approach is to use human experts with knowledge in a particular subject area (eg. NSX) to wade through content created in multiple threads and distill it down to the truth and make it easily and quickly consumable .. and I don't think any software is going to do that for us .. although IBM has probably come the closest with its Watson project (which competed on Jeopardy) which can scan natural language content and learn from it. They've partnered with the Sloan Kettering Cancer institute and already used it to scan medical books; journals; research; etc to create a 'physician system' to help make better cancer treatment choices. But before they would be allowed to have it do that it had to pass the standard medical exam .. and I gather it did that. Now if we had a version of Watson who could scan all the threads and posts on NSXPrime, we could use it to create a killer Wiki .. but better yet, just keep an interactive version of it around to answer questions .. like Siri, only better ... because it would be built on the wisdom shared by keN SaX, RSO34, Angus, and numerous others who I'm neglecting to mention.
But .. I digress.
