Hi Himanshu, It is a great idea. I felt need of some fact and resource sharing mechanism so many times when you need some factual info and you don't have anything you can rely on .
Regarding the mechanism I'd prefer wiki to GIT hub since it is insanely simple. Even non tech people can take most out of it ! Also why don't we encourage the ones who want to share their academic researches ?
