Regarding Knowledge capture

[Kaliya Hamlin]

Does this community have a wiki that "explicitly" documents knowledge  
shared on list - around ideas and concepts so that it lives somewhere  
other then just "the list archives" this is not a good format for  
retrieval by others in the future.
  It is a pattern of effective open source communities to do so.
  Just wondering.
