Here's where I perceive a communication gap: I think Richard Owlett is
looking for a community to support him in his (Sometimes eccentric)
projects... He has many, but none are quite eccentric enough, so he is
begging for us to point him to more...

But he isn't ASKING that... He's asking weather or not he should wiki...
And what that question ignores, and I think some of us technically minded
folk are getting hung up on, is that "Wiki" isn't a community, per se, it
is a software... And on the "Wiki software platform," communities can be
built...

Actually, that is probably also a poor way of looking at it... Wikis are
where communities get documented... Forums are where they discuss topics...
Mailing Lists are where they make announcements and coordinate events and
activities... All of these softwares are tools used by communities to
promote communication and ensure continuity.

The problem I perceive here is that Richard Owlett is focused on the
software, not on the community.

I THINK he seeks a community.

And I don't think any of us can help with that... Despite our best efforts.
