I would recommend making the current forum moderators admins of the wiki. They've proved their worth.

I don't anticipating much admin work being required though - the community is composed of pretty responsible people.

Give edit access only to registered members. That minimises the potential for deliberate wrongdoing by anonymous outsiders.

It's been my experience with wikis that, as long as the rightdoers outweigh the wrongdoers they tend to be self-regulating - any vandalism is quickly erased.

The beauty of starting a wiki here is that you're starting with a community of personal-development-seeking rightdoers.

Other projects I'd probably rank higher than a wiki would be video blogging and webinars.
Those are great projects, but they're not comparable to a wiki - they're all one-to-many communication channels that enable you to talk to us. A wiki is a many-to-many communication medium.

If you would be so kind as to host a wiki and create the initial administrator group it need involve no additional work on your end: we can take it from there.
