My thoughts on this as I wrote that was note a listing of 'one' way to 
do things, but a listing split up into various topics and information 
on all possible ways to achieve a particular outcome, and maybe some 
notes on success any further follow up etc.

I think it would take more that one person to maintain such a thing and 
maybe it would be possible to have a person compile information on a 
couple of topics and another take care of other ones. And of course
someone 
would need to put it all together. 

I am happy to offer some time to start putting something together. I was

thinking of constructing something like this for a personal reference
tool 
(from information here as well as elsewhere.)
