I also am 'none of the above'. (I hate them all - not their engines,
their aesthetics. But nobody asked, so I'll shut up.)

I volunteer to assist with any such effort. You also mentioned the
various scenarios:

This, as well as a '101' or 'Mud Programming Encyclopedia', would
be quite useful. They could (should) also be cross-refenced back to the
list archives, pointing to relevant threads.
Should such a thing live on kanga.nu itself? Or would it be better to
put it elsewhere? I have access to some space on a stable web
server, but I don't think they provide anything beyond the basic
access (e.g. searches would be nice).

maybe we can add this to the '101' project .
