throwing onto some damn wiki and hoping someone else will do the

Not to speak for Shlomi, but I suspect his purpose of putting
something on a wiki isn't to get other people to do the work for
him, but to allow others to work on it. Makes it much easier to
let things be maintained rather than having something lie fallow
for six years.
To be clear, the wiki proposal was mine (for better or worse) not
Shlomi's. Shlomi responded lukewarmly toward the proposal.

The value I see in wikis is not that hundreds of people can edit
(i.e. regress a document toward the mean), but that some can walk
away when they are done editing.
