For existential risks we would probably benefit from having a wiki where we list all the risks and everyone can add information.
At the moment there doesn’t seem to be a space that really center our knowledge on them.
Strongly seconded, but is it reasonable to expect this to happen spontaneously? I’m pretty sure SIAI lacks the human resources to do this. Less Wrongers could do this but only if the site was reasonably well-seeded first and had a moderately memorable url, good hosting, et cetera. We have a hard enough time with the LW wiki. Even then it would require at least a few dedicated contributors to avoid falling into decay. The catastrophic risks movement seriously lacks in human capital.
I think it would be easier and even more valuable to simply do this on wikipedia. The only downside is that we might not be able to reference as many LessWrong articles and concepts as we might like to.
