Arr, it's just a place to start. It's extremely easy to transfer it then setup whatever URL is used to redirect to a new location, just a lot of sites may not be willing to start a wiki from scratch, especially if they don't know how dedicated the people working on it are (or if it'll go anywhere)

Thats definitely a valid point, and I by no means would advocate splintering the information more. However, it COULD be a place to link off to that content too. And some might say that more is always better...?
I'm bringing it up to guage the interest really, and am definitely not trying to go out and evangalize about wiki's. :) I just see how well the Unreal Wiki works, and other wikis that seem to work for their various communities. I also know that they either catch on, or die horribly very quickly... usually due to apathy by the users to invest the time.
Looking back at this thread I see the following "votes": 8 for (or at least supportive), 2 against (or skeptical). Anyone else care to vote?

I don't know if it's a good idea to divide our resources even more. I think rather than start yet another resource, we should perhaps concentrate on extending an existing one.
I know The Wavelength will be supporting HL2 with articles, discussion, tutorials etc. The VERC no doubt will too. These two resources are the ones that jump to mind, we were to try and add another one to the mix, I feel all three would go down hill. Why not just contribute to the existing ones to make them better?

hehe, I've got hosting with 2.5gb of space 'n 64gb of bandwidth that I hardly use, it's mainly for my family's email addresses (since everyone blocks free emails nowadays). I could host it to start you off if ye like, though chances are it'd need to transfer to VERC eventually, a very popular site would exceed those limitations =)

Yes, a great idea. I would happily contribute and write articles.
I was actually going to suggest this to the group once I found out if could actually host it. And what software we would need.
But alas I can not.

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.
