See what I mean, within 24 hours we now have two separate people talking of setting up Wikis. One already has, and another is about to.
Yep, and within 24 hours I've gone from completely loving the idea, to hating it. I sent the link around for people to brainstorm, play with it and possibly talk about what content we'd want to put up, and instead everyone wanted it to spring fully grown from my head like Athena.
I was planning to spend time over the next week or two (hopefully with others helping) to add content, figure out primary categories, continue to update the navigation, etc of the site. I tend to go toward the "here it is, lets play" mentality toward Wikis because I know that if they start getting used, the information usually sorts itself out fairly quickly. Wiki's allow you to be more "evolutional" with how you collect and organize the information, rather than a CMS style site.
If someone else is going to host it, run it, maintain it and deal with it, I don't honestly care. I'll probably edit it and help write / organize. Otherwise, I'll keep working on HalfLifeWiki and make any major announcements here. Probably in a day or three I'll have some organization in place. In the meantime, there is a temp page set up for people to link off of and to add their own articles.

Being a coder, I thought you'd be one of those people that understand things that aren't designed properly well seem to inflate very fast with repeated information and become unmanageable...
Design first, implement later. :/
