Peter Shute asked:

"Is this a Wiki?  How is it different to all the stuff already entered
into Wikipedia?  I'm not complaining that there'll be another, possibly
much better, resource to look at, but why do people keep reinventing
these things?"

Perhaps Graham Turner could answer that. He seems to be involved in the
project.

Graham Turner said:
"Our official launch date was February 26th. However, due to phenomenal load
on our servers, we reverted to our pages served prior to launch. We are
working hard to remedy the situation and will resume momentarily"

Personally, I imagine it will be as authoritative as Wikipedia.
