I guess the big question, Who is going to volunteer to do all this
work on the wiki site???
There is already facility to add comments to the online AFL functions
that is clearly not fully utilised as it takes someone actually
writing something to add. We cannot expect TJ to do all this work and
keep AB moving forward.
No point running around getting things planned if nobody plans to do
the effort of entering to the site.
If you plan to have everyone write and add their own thing, then
forget organising unless someone is prepared to do the organising.

It all sounds good, but so far very few people have ever come forward
to do the work, and then continue to do so for long time to come.

Yes I am negative about it, It is good idea............. but.
