A Wiki is a excellent idea, and will be really helpfull. I have strong experience on wikis, and I think fit very well the need of a modder community.
Unreal wiki its a impresive effort. Years of good documenting.
About software, the wikipedia one its very good and the phpwiki one its very easy to install. I think a good idea can be to pick a wiki software that support embeded code, so small snips of code can be publish.

I would definitely contribute and I am absolutely certain others would too. It just needs someone to host the site. I did consider starting one for HL1 but it's a bit late for that really. I think now is a good time to start a HL2 coders Wiki.

Out of curiousity, does there happen to be a half-life wiki around for coders / mappers / modelers, etc? Like http://wiki.beyondunreal.com for the Unreal crowd.
Its something we might consider, if it doesn't already exist. I think what challenges folks, especially hobbyists with "Real Life" always in the way, is real "This is how you start" documentation. It would be great if some of the pro's could, collaboratively through the wiki, build this sort of documentation - along with tutorials and reference.
Does this idea have any legs? Would people on this list and in the community actually want to spend time writing / editing / testing content for the community?
I'll watch the debate on the list, if there is any, but if you are interested in such a thing, let me know off-list too. I'll weigh it in my head a bit, as I could host such a thing fairly cheaply... OR if anyone on list knows anyone at any of the big HL or HL2 sites, that would be willing to host it, like Beyond Unreal does, I'd be willing to set it up and maintain it... hopefully with a lot of help from you all. (Of if Valve wanted to give me server space and put a stamp of legitimacy on it.... :)
Thanks D
