Adding an encylopaedia section to our Wiki | Suggestions and Questions | Forum

What do people think of the idea of having actual encyclopaedic pages in our Wiki?  By this I mean that, where an article in our Wiki on the Selene boosters may currently link to the Wikipedia article "Hybrid rocket", it might instead link to a page in our Wiki entitled "Hybrid rocket" which would be written so as to be most useful to CSTART members, making explicit reference to the use of hybrid rockets in CSTART projects (but also including some basic background).  At the bottom of each of our articles would be a "Resources" section which linked to relevant Wikipedia articles and also any other resources on the web.  In this way we would eventually grow a whole space-specific encyclopedia where new comers to CSTART could pick up the information they need to be helpful in a more efficient way than if they had to do their own research.

I agree this isn't something we could do to high quality in short time with our current activity levels – it would be a long-term project that would evolve as we picked up more and more members.
