I'm flattered. You realize that I am the one who rewrote the entire FIRST page, right?

It's something that could be interesting to use and watch develop, but it seems like there are faster ways of accessing important data through other sources. To use your example, I could probably go to Google real quick-like and find a great explanation of gear ratios with pictures before I could find my way there on this Wiki thingamabob.

It's great if you're reading through and need a definition of a word or concept, but to find something specific, it seems like taking the long way.


This sounds quite like what exists at Everything2, which, again, can be an interesting read. Coupled with a search engine, its usefullness increases dramatically.

What I like most about E2 over this, so far, is that E2 tracks users and presents all the data entered about a subject, not just the most recent interpretation.
