Would anyone be interested in an academically oriented Computer Science & Engineering wiki?

[slugg]

So I was thinking of putting up a WikiMedia style site dedicated to CS&E academia. It could potentially be a good resource for students to learn from, as well as good practice to those who are contributing.

I know I'd definitely use it. I'm a junior and I plan to go through my masters at a minimum, but most likely a doctorate. Plus it's always nice to get perspectives from more experienced people, or even students from other universities that have different teaching methodologies.

Any thoughts?

If I was still in school I probably would use it a lot. Maybe even now.

Could be useful.

The trick would be populating it... specifically getting people qualified to populate it to populate it... and verifying that those people really are qualified.

This is true, or it turns into a "I think" wiki, but not based on actual fact.

Bite the bullet and give it a shot. Who knows?

The only reason to say no, is if you have a better project or something else in mind also ?

How would it be different than the CSE topics that exist on Wikipedia?
