Geni-wiki?

Currently many thousands of people are extracting hand written data from census records for genealogical purposes. This is a major effort and there are lots of man hours being poured in to this project. It reminds me of the extensive work done in Wikipedia. Millions of man hours have been spent entering information in to Wikipedia and countless other wikis. Could the wiki idea be adapted to genealogy? Wikis are designed to easily add links between entries.

Your geni-wiki page would have some sort of a table that showed you and links to your siblings and parents. The data in your wiki would contain relevant information including birth date, cities you lived in, schools attended, awards received and, of course, a blurb about your life and accomplishments. People would come to find out about you and end up following the trail of user generated information that would lead them to your ancestors and relatives.

Of course this would have to be regulated to assure some degree of accuracy, but we'll leave that for another post.
