I do agree...
Sharing it is something else, but I once used my railway reseaches into my university paper. It was a way, through architecture as a media, to make it useful to people out of the train world. At first, all the teachers were against my idea, by the end they gave me 2 substantial scholarships that paid off my student debts.
So yes, I find it reawrding. I had the pleasure to present my work to different peoples including municipal administration. Was it susccesful? To be honest, not that much, but I think it helped some people to see trains benefit for our area.
Until this day, I found out most of the time, what I learned in my hobbies was what gave me an edge over other people on some situation, much more that my "official" education.
Good luck with your wiki, maintaining website is a dedication.
