Agreed. I've long felt that the most effective tool is good curation of the material. You can use a wiki, or folders; I've used both successfully. The most important thing is that the material is organized in a way which allows for findings things efficiently. It can work if everyone knows the rules of said curation, but I've found it works best when one or two individuals are effectively the mods. The mods set the rules (folder naming conventions, hierarchy, maybe leave a README file in the root folder, etc...). If you use a wiki, you still have "folders", and the same rules apply. Otherwise, it becomes a big ball of documentation mud.

Would the mods also enforce said rules? Would everything has to go through them? Or do they just check that they are followed? What happens with what is not conform?
