Over the time this forum has gathered a lot of talented developers, many tutorials and pinned threads that gather important information. But the problem is, a forum is not the right format for everything. Main reason why I would like to have it, is because of threads like this:
Developer Tools (WIP)

It's a good idea to collect information like this, because it is pinned, there are stille important tools listed in the discussion, but it is not anymore updated by the original author. A wiki would be the perfect place to put a list like this, and it can be extendet by more than just the original author.

I think it could be awesome, but also it could damage the forum traffic even more. The forum already feel a little bit empty, taking part of it's "reason to be" would make it emptier. Besides, there is already a lot of wikis out there, isn't?

The wiki is not meant to take out traffic from the forum. It should just perpetuate something that came out of the forum. The forum itself can't do that. I would also let the forum always connected to the wiki, so that the discussion can go on.

And yes there are a lot of wikis out there, but there is no indie game development wiki. I mean every tool has probably it's own wiki, and that's a good idea and should not be replaced, but there is still a lot left that has not jet been written down.
