Hey Mark,

I didn't know there was an audifans Wiki project already, great! 

I was digging around on it  ( http://www.audifans.com/kb/ ) and it seems 
like a huge amount of stuff is in there already 
(http://www.audifans.com/kb/Special:Fewestrevisions)  but that it was 
never "launched". 

It seems some top level indexes are required,  maybe some anti-spam 
features turned on, and it's good to go.   Who was working on this 
before?   The only hurdle after that is adoption by us readers and the 
search engines.
