I'm getting a strange sense of deja vu here... (IMG:

Anyway, I'd be remiss if I (or someone) didn't point out Derktar's and Kato's
Wikipedia Timeline as a good starting point for something like what Doc Sanger is describing. Numerous links are already there, though admittedly few (if any) of them are to webcitation.org (i.e., archived) versions of the pages in question.
It would be fairly easy to turn something like that into static HTML and take it from there (though let's please ensure that Derktar & Kato are properly credited, even if they don't participate in the final result), but personally I don't see why you wouldn't want to use something like an FAQ system or even a keyword-based project manager. "Tag clouds" are the In Thing these days, from what I understand. All the rage!
I'd certainly be happy to help in whatever way I can, including setting up such things on WR if possible/desirable (though we have a tendency to panic and delete things when we're successfully hacked, I'm afraid). I'm actually about to go on a little vacation-like thingy in a week or so, though.
