I agree that having some central directory or collection of the summaries/ācollections would be ideal. And I think all of those suggestions for achieving that are good.
Also, I think EA Concepts is great. And I think people who havenāt checked it out should, or should keep it in mind when they encounter a concept theyāre unfamiliar with. (Conceptually also performs a similar function. It isnāt explicitly EA-focused, but it was made by EAs and covers a lot of concepts EAs like to use.) However:
EA Concepts doesnāt cover everything
The entries are quite short, which is of course valuable in some ways, but also means there could also be value in longer summaries that build on, go beyond, and add detail to whatās in those entries
The entries seem slightly old now, so they may not reflect the latest work, nor contain links to it. A forum post will later suffer the same issue, but it allows comments, so people could comment to add discussion of or links to more recent work. (That said, it seems relatively rare for people to comment on older posts, which I think is a shame.)
This suggests that one possible solution would be for the people behind EA Concepts to crowdsource (and then vet) new entries, and/āor updated versions of existing entries.
