Hah. It should of course be _what you really need to know_, not a wonkathon. And on page 1 it would have to say 'Wikipedia is dynamic', book already out of date, that sort of thing. But actually the old-lag Wikipedians can confirm that some essential things don't change that much. Certainly the hardest bit is social interaction, and that is a constant.
