I was also thinking about Wiki. Its already set up. All we need to do
is start writing.

Why use Wiki? Broad audience. Easily added to, modified, or deleted.
Controversial articles are marked as such. Wiki has a policy for
handling controvery. Multiple entry points into domain, e.g. BlackBox,
Oberon, Component Pascal, ...

Downsides of using Wiki. Must constantly alert reader to limited
platforms on which BlackBox/Component Pascal runs. Unix users will be
enticed but turned off.

I don't know if there are any restriction on posting this kind of
documentation for an Encyclopedia.
