That sounds like a good idea! How do I get to edit this wiki, do I just
register, add a new entry for Q on the frontpage and get going, or
should I first ask someone? Also, does Wikia have an option to make backups?

BTW, I already banged together a little teaser here on wikispaces:
http://q-lang.wikispaces.com/

Wikispaces certainly isn't as professional-looking as Wikia, but it
offers lots of space for free, the ads are not much more obtrusive than
on Wikia, it has both WYSIWYG (kind of) and textual editing and an easy
way to make backups. After playing around with it for a little while, I
must say that I like it. The downside is that AFAICT you do have to
register with your email address and get an invitation to edit a wiki
(unless we want to just make the wiki editable by everyone, which is
probably an invitation for spammers).

Further ideas/comments appreciated...
