As i have been maintaining sort of PyMOL FAQ for some time, i would definitely 
like a Wiki, too. Simply because it would take less time for me to update a 
Wiki rather than HTML pages. Thus, i strongly encourage setting up a Wiki, 
and i would like to transfer all the answers i have collected there.

If anyone is wondering what i'm talking about, look at 
http://www.rubor.de/bioinf/pymol_tips.html

I know Wiki's that suffer or starve from inactivity, but i never heard of one 
that got unusable because malevolent users permanently put *graffitti* on the 
pages. 
However, a good Wiki needs to be structured beforehand, rather than having 
everything grow by itself. Users will add things where aproppriate, anyway. 
Thus, in a heavily used Wiki its definitely easy to get lost.

my 2cents.
