That probably was me.
If you're djryan aka Damien Ryan from Cambride ... answer your mail! :)
I am not. I am the mysterious "person who recently updated the data on the site".... :)

I'd answer my mail if I got it..and it didn't end up in a spam folder!

I'd like to see Wiki style elaboration and cross referencing on everything found in the links below:

theland.antgear.com/glossary.html
theland.antgear.com/glossary.html#second

Also the Last Chrons.
Specifics about each book, publication dates, cover art, comments from SRD about the making and inspiration of each story etc.

Creation of the Watch (the hows and whys, history).

And of course while constructing a Wiki you inevitably create new points of interest while defining others so it literally becomes an ever growing living document.

I don't have any idea how you manage a searchable database of this kind, what software, where the source DB is hosted etc.

I'm also in the camp that believes we should construct ours from scratch.

I'm also in the 'from scratch' camp. For one thing, we could have KW-centric entries as well.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

It wouldn't make too much of a difference since the old one apparently doesn't have any content anyway. But making a new one could give us more control over the site (adminship) and integrate it more with the current kevinswatch.com site and message board.

So. Is the current wiki KW's? or the "other's"?
