Or should we just stick to wikipedia? Is it doing a satisfactory job?

"Matt Crypto" set up an "article (to clean up) of the day" replete with a bar
graph of how "done" he thinks it is.
As to accuracy, there are several authors I respect who keep many of the
crypto articles on their watchlists, so that we notice when people make
changes.
I'm quite happy with a number of the pages in the reader, enough that I point
my students to them and use the figures in my lecture slides. I like the
intersecting planes in the "secret sharing" article particularly:

of work. I proposed a few weeks ago (in the meta-discussion) to do it, but
was concerned that doing so would step on toes and seem invasive. No one has
responded to that, not even the people who flagged the article as needing
work.
An old wikipedia saying is "be bold in updating pages":
