I haven't decided yet if the two purposes align or butt heads. What
I'm trying to figure out is whether a TCP wiki would matter to the
world ;-), given how many other TC wikis already exist.

STC has started one at http://www.stc-on.org/wiki. The Carolina
Chapter uses a wiki for their chapter website (looks like it's closed
to non-Carolina members). The MSHelpWiki is for all Microsoft-related
Help issues. KeyContent.org is a wiki.

Wikis can make good references, although I usually follow the
journalism tenets of verifying all information (just in case!).
