Random idea: Once in a while we could do something like “LessWrong Wiki Improvement Thread”. Choose a topic that is important, and start a discussion about how the wiki page on that topic could be improved. People can use search and submit relevant links in comments; or propose different ways of how the page could be organized. Later someone can implement the best suggestions and add links (the thread author could precommit to do that in a week).
Alternative title for the threads: “LessWrong Wiki Article of the Week / Month: ”.
I think that this is a great idea. Less Wrong needs to work on more collaborative projects, but there isn’t enough organisation to do anything massive. These projects are about the right size.

Sounds like a great plan, except that historically
has essentially never happened.
