Basically, yeh - though in this case I would recommend limiting it to logged in users only (ie. no Anons).

Angela, Wikipedia is the most famous example of a wiki. Each of those articles was collaboratively created by users and viewers.

Turning it into a wiki would still be nice, though.
What I had in mind wasn't so much a collection of Steve's thoughts - the blogs and articles serve that purpose just fine - but rather a collection of the community's best thoughts.

It wouldn't be encyclopaedic like Wikipedia with it's Neutral Point of View policy. Rather, it would be a collection of relevant and different perspectives on particular issues. I would envision someone saying something insightful in a forum discussion and someone else saying "we should add that to the wiki".

eg. We could have a page on weight loss that collects together the best insights from the forums. It would probably also have hyperlinks to pages on different diets, exercise routines, relevant mental techniques etc. Similarly there would be a page on LOA.

Probably a good starting point would be a page per forum : one for Health & Fitness, one for Personal Effectiveness etc. As the pages get larger they can be fissioned off into appropriate subtopics.
