(2) if the software isn't available, could I set up a really specialized set of pages in the wikipedia itself?
Larry is going to blacklist me for even suggesting this, but this might be a case where subpages are not such a bad idea ...
I just wanted to point out that I do not have a "blacklist" and I haven't yet found a use for one--in fact, I've never once seriously considered the idea.
I have also (surprisingly perhaps) made a suggestion, at

that is rather similar to your own suggestion, Michel. But the general response to the idea seems to have been, "It's really easy to set up a wiki--why should we encourage people to start their wiki projects on Wikipedia?" Makes sense to me. Besides, Bomis is (still) threatening to make its own "wiki farm."
I'm not sure if what Peter's working on is the sort of information that belongs in an encyclopedia--but if so, I'd second your request.
