OTW = A Good Start, But Not The End All/Be All

I'd like a fan history wiki that is transparent, group owned (aka not owned by one person or persons + persons who are accountable and unlikely to wander off). I also like the idea of seeing more articles etc discussing and documenting women in fan history. A central archive would be a nice complement (not a replacement) to the thousands of existing archives. And of course having some legal assistance or legal direction is all good.

In short, what I like about OTW is that it is a large group, a bit more formal/professional than your typical fan endeavor, less likely to be taken over by one single person/group and well funded. And that is is not trying to be (and frankly never will be able to be) the exclusive owner of fannish works or history.

In short, a good start with lots of room for others to branch off and still do their own thins.
