You've hit it precicely. It is *a* de-facto Wiki of the list. There are at least two
others, plus this newest one.

I'd suggest that someone or ones with a stern hand but a fair eye go over the
extant conlang Wikis, and combine them into a single, slightly more de-jure,
source. I suspect it would be a legthy as well as difficult task, though. I
suggest instead that we hold some kind of referendum to determine our preferred
Wiki (or indeed whether a unified Wiki is desirable), and each take
responsibility to move our own content to a unified new home, if needed.

Alternatively, the process could probably be automated with wget, expect, and perl, though
that might be a nightmare to actually implement.
