I think “wiki" itself works well for this, real-time chat and pages where we
can use images and formatting and various linking and keep it simple. A little
less ‘moderated’ and a bit more a shared scratch area people can post whatever
they think is useful.
I also agree the old stuff is more outdated or misinformation and really we
should just start again.
Where can we put this sort of thing? A free wiki service or install one on a
server? I guess I could set something up--
