Does anyone know of a good wiki by and for Oracle DBAs?

The closest thing I know of is The Oracle (tm) Users' Co-Operative FAQ, but that's not quite the same. You have to be ready to produce the entire, authoritative answer to a question, and produce it all at once, to submit an answer to that. (Or pester Jonathon Lewis with a dozen revision emails, but that seems rude.) There are questions, though, that don't really work that way; where you can chip in a little bit of answer, and somebody else fleshes it out a little more, etc.

For instance, I'd like a comprehensive guide to locations of logfiles of Oracle products. Things like the Universal Installer, lsnrctl, emctl, dbca, SQL*Net, Intelligent Agents, Oracle HTTPServer, etc. can all generate logs, and it's far from obvious where the log from any particular tool will go. Finding them can be a pain, and I'd happily bookmark a guide, if one existed. I don't have all the answers, but I could fill out a bit of the guide and hope others would flesh it out.

So I'd start a wiki for that, but it would make sense for it to be a page of a project with some momentum. Is there one? If there isn't, hosting one would seem like a natural for IOUG... hmm...

Thanks very much!
