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I also agree the old stuff is more outdated or misinformation and really we 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--
