It's a simple question, but unfortunately not so simple a response. One of my main reasons is that I don't trust everyone to freely contribute/destroy what's there. This may be a bad argument, but let's just consider spam. How many project wiki's have you seen that has been swats of pages with spam and no one is taking care of it? Sites such as wikipedia has the necessary people and interest to actually manage these problems, but I definitely don't. As a correlation, I'm currently receiving 10 comment spams per day on this site as it is, what if this had been in a wiki? Secondly the above is just the stuff that's posted with malice in mind, what about people who simply post incorrect information without knowing any better? Maybe all my problems with a wiki could be addressed, but it's not in my interest at this time. If people have ideas and suggestions or would like to contribute, they are more than welcome to contact me and we'll see what can be done.

Just a thought. Have you considered making it a wiki-like page and allowing people to contribute to it?
