That's the beauty of the Wiki! You have hit the nail on the head, Paul.

What I said here in a roundabout way hints at what you have said.
"In a wiki, for instance, accumulations of randomly generated aggregates
surrounding a variety of topics, i.e. nitrogen fixing trees, shrubs and 
perennials
would, imho, invariably result in gems of distilled essence destined for 
input in
"database" or static file display or non transient but revisable/peer 
reviewable information, such as you'd typically
find in a wiki, i.e. Wikipedia."
