I've also experience in web development and linux admin and also
webspace so we have webspace enough :)

That would be a good start for the wiki and the info is already
available, so it should not take to much time.

May give them a template to work from - I'de guess not every builder has the

Yep I think there are wiki's nowadays that can be edited only with a
wysiwyg editor only without any knowledge about "handy" markup
language. I think that would be one of the main requirements.

I think a template or default project set up is very useful, that
makes it a lot easier to compare the different bikes.

I'm not yet the happy owner of a python, but I have some ideas and
maybe I can convert some existing info, from people who don't have
time to convert there site to the wiki, to the wiki. My English isn't
perfect, but the good part about a wiki is that other people can
correct it ;)
