I also think this is a great idea. Wasn't there already an IA Wiki?  
Seems to be dead now.
   http://www.iawiki.org/

Seeing as I never used it, either, there must have been something  
wrong with it. What was it? Too little promotion? Not enough  
participation? Bad IA? As I recall it was loaded up with content at  
the beginning and rarely updated.

One problem is that our community might not be big enough to reliably  
and continually generate rich content. Wikipedia's top 500  
contributors write 50% of their content, but only comprise a tiny  
fraction of their audience. In our world, that means we'll need to  
rely on only maybe a dozen people to maintain a healthy Wiki. The IA  
Wiki model, then, would need to attract participation at a much  
higher level, I think.

The concept, again, seems great. Maybe it really just needs the  
rubric of an org like IxDA to work.
