I can look into that and see what it would take to extract the archives and 
place them into a database for searching.  Not sure about wiki but I can 
probably do a forum fairly easy with one of the existing forums.  A cron would 
make it easy to update by just finding the latest and automatically updating 
the database with pertinent info.

A WAP page could be made for it for those who want to use a pda to access but 
that would be something extra.

I could take this on or work with someone on this if anyone else is 
interested.  I do more web design than mud programming lately anyway.
