It was rewarding, a lot of people found it through google, but it was a pain to maintain. Wikis are even more fertile ground for link spammers than blog comments. In one instance a page was overwritten so many times that I lost the edit history and a ton of data.

I started the wiki for Orlando, but it’s suffering from the same problems. For now I’m going to try to replicate that functionality through Backpack. It won’t have the anyone-can-edit benefit of a wiki, but the truth is that I think the LA restaurant wiki was edited once by someone who wasn’t me and who wasn’t a spammer.Here’s the backpack-driven list of Orlando Restaurants. I’d love to hear suggestions if you’ve got any.
