Yep :)
> What would you use it for?

Writing articles about aspects of game programming and getting peer
review from them.  I'm convinced there's enough knowledge in this list
to write a pretty decent book, if everyone on it would actually
contribute their thoughts as articles, wit hthe wiki process
crystalizing them into a resource for the whole world.

Or something :)

I'm not sure if there's anyone on the list that would use them, but if
you start the wiki up I'll donate my PS2 Vector Unit tutorials series
as the first set of articles - it just might get the ball rolling.

I use the mediaWiki software, it's the same piece of software that
powers the big wikis like WikiPedia and WikiBooks.
