I've spent ridiculous amounts of time involved with Wikipedia this past year and I'm wondering why there doesn't seem to be a Hawaii Wiki. Wikipedia is a wonderful, wonderful thing, but it is still a general-interest encyclopedia, and many things that would be interesting to people in (or from, or in love with) Hawaii would never make it on Wikipedia, particularly people of note, such as local entertainers, politicians, and athletes.
I think a Hawaii Wiki would be a LOT of fun, not to mention very, very useful -- I envision it linking to Ryan's HawaiiAnswers and other sources, but mostly remaining the original work of its collaborators.
I have a few questions if your ears are perking up a little:
What do you think?
Is this something you'd participate in?
Is this something people would find useful?
What would be a good name for it? hawaiiwiki.com, wikihawaii.com, and wikihawaii.org are taken (but nothing useful is being done there).
