At least 3 were started.
<http://techref.massmind.org/techref/pcb/etch/directinkjetresist.htm>

I started another <http://dipcb.schtuff.com/>, which has only ever seen  
use to upload some pictures, i have no time or inclination at this moment  
to work on it, you are welcome to ownership if you are offering.

There's also the one Phil made  
<http://pcbwiki.philpem.me.uk/wiki/Main_Page>

As you can see, James is the only one who actually put work into it and  
made something. Several people have come to inkjet development via his  
page, it's great he put the information up.

All the other stuff (including from myself) is just hot air, starting a  
wiki is easy finding time to maintain one is not. It has been suggested to  
use a wiki a hundred times on this list, for various topics, never once  
did something really grand come from it, as far as i know. Nobody is  
prepared to put his time where his mouth is, and i can well understand  
that.

Just forget it, and read everything you can right here on this list, which  
is _THE_ place where this information is shared. Or if you really want to  
work on a Wiki, ask James his seems most promising. You are also welcome  
to mine (although i believe the host is not all that practical), and I'm  
sure Phil would welcome you to write articles on his space too.

I don't think a wiki is really all that helpful, it only shows "one  
version" of the facts, and is hard to keep up to date. Here you get all  
the data and can ask for clarification too, it's really as good as it  
gets. In a way i even prefer if there is no wiki, since it means all the  
info is coming through here and i don't have to keep up with some other  
place as well.
