Forum:Anecdotes Wiki

I think it would be really cool to have a wiki for collecting anecdotes. I'm an academic and within my field and others that I know about, there are lots of great anecdotes about the quirks and eccentricities of academics, but not many places where they are all compiled together. Of course, it could be broader than just anecdotes about intellectual figures. I'm envisioning the anecdotes to be mostly humorous, positive, very short and concise, yet revealing about charming or endearing personality traits. The general spirit of this wiki might be best compared to the collections of anecdotes about Richard Feynman (but generally with shorter anecdotes).

I don't know much about what would be involved in starting or running a wiki so if someone would like to head this project I think that would be great. Or maybe one of these days I'll take the time to figure it out and start it myself. Anyone interested?
