We're looking for your comments on how to best organize the wiki's content.
Should we be a news resource?

As the game develops, more info will become available at an increasing rate. Should we (the wiki community) take it upon ourselves to write proper articles about these news?
There are no technical problems with it, it would just require an effort. WikiNews: is a thing. With Semantic MediaWiki we can make browsing news by timestamp and keywords easy, and we can put a newsbox on the frontpage/etc. that updates automatically, with whatever parameters we'd like. With Semantic Forms we can make it very easy for novice wiki-users to create articles that follow the correct manual of style.
I could easily set up a system for this myself right now, but i'm not much of a writer, and thus it wouldn't be worth the effort if I was the only one who thought it was a good idea.
