Well, I've always considered the time-nuts list itself to be the wiki. We get high quality posts and they are all archived. True, we've talked about a wiki now and then -- and Didier set one up many years ago. Quite a few members use it: http://www.ko4bb.com/dokuwiki/doku.php See also the time-nuts info page: http://leapsecond.com/time-nuts.htm which has links to all sorts of time-nut related web sites, technical papers, and books. /tvb

Seems to me that there was a court case where Springer was ordered to follow through on its promise to release all books and academic papers to the public domain after something like 5 or 10 years.
