    Jeff,

    You misunderstand me. I didn't suggest setting up seperate wiki trawler sites
    but rather creating trawler related pages on Wikipedia itself. There are
    numerous such pages already. If you have a diesel engine question, a good overview
    of diesel engines is given on the Wikipedia "diesel engine" entry. Similarly
    on anchors, ropes, navigational instruments, GPS, etc. Just about anyone can
    create or modify a Wikipedia page.

    Wikipedia is intended to be a compendium of all knowledge, trawlering
    information is simply a subset of that knowledge. It is not necessary to reinvent the
    wheel.
