Too Many Cooks?
I have used Wikipedia over the last few years, mostly to satisfy my own curiosity about a particular subject, but only recently (this week, actually) had the temerity to make my own contribution. I wonder how (or if) it is possible to create or maintain professional-grade reference material when anybody who comes along can dabble in the content.

I like the concept. I like having an immense store of reference material available from my own home. I like being able to contribute. I expect chaos.

What is your experience?

LaTeX - Holy Smokes!
There is a staggering amount of TeX, LaTeX, Fill_In_The_Blank_TeX material out there. Selecting content for a basic users' guide is a daunting task. I can see how this could get out of hand.

Working...
Still working. Still learning. My pre-calculus reference is coming along very nicely, thank you.
