OK it doesn't appear that there's any Wikipedia contributors on this board so I'll consider it a solo effort. Wikia seems interesting but why not have the information in easy reach on Wikipedia? (assuming fellow editors don't decide it's non-notable and erase the work, which is the only risk in spending time on articles there).
you haven't even SEEN the new CPF wiki
That's what I meant by being in the "alpha" stage (a term used in software development), alphas aren't necessarily public.
To further clarify what I was talking about it appears there in minimal interest in creating reference material on current torches (eg. Flashlightreviews.com has closed, no one was interested in running
www.cpfwiki.com, the existing CPF wiki is empty) so if you finish the new wiki you'll have done well. And there's the question of whether any content would be added by anyone other than yourself (and me if I can find technical information on these power LEDS).
There's countless open-source programs on the internet that have been left in a half-finished state because the original author(s) lost interest. So you can see why I'm biased toward creating some articles on Wikipedia which I am an existing contributor to.
However a CPF wiki WILL be important for information on specific torches, I'm only talking about creating maybe a single page about the Power LEDS from Cree, Seoul and Lumiled (if I created separate articles they'd be deleted or merged anyway).
If you can basically create an alternative to the information pages on dealextreme.com (which appears to be down again) you could get a decent amount of traffic.
That should be enough alienation for one day.
