One question I have about this is who the main target audience(s) for this wiki are? I think there are a few ways one could operationalise that question, such as:
What percentage of readers do you expect/​hope will be quite engaged members of the EA community, vs less engaged members, vs people who’ve heard of EA but never engaged, vs other people?
What kinds of EAs do you expect to make the most use of this wiki?
E.g., people who work at EA orgs, people who don’t work at EA orgs (who might therefore have a harder time getting oriented to key ideas and resources quickly without the wiki), researchers, grantmakers, policy people, other people?
What kinds of non-EAs do you expect to make the most use of this wiki?
E.g., academics, people at think tanks, policy people, the sort of random adolescents and young adults who are predisposed to become EAs, etc.
The same questions as above, but for the impact/​value of the EA wiki rather than the amount of use it gets
It may be that a type of person who will use the wiki relatively rarely will still be the main type of person through whom the impact of the wiki flows
E.g., maybe most readers will be EAs, but the marginal value of the wiki will be much higher for a handful of non-EAs who otherwise wouldn’t have encountered these ideas or would’ve encountered a less compelling or clear intro
(Apologies if this has been addressed somewhere here already and I’ve just forgot that.)
