I just remembered this was a thing. Has there been much activity on the wiki since this post? I am curious on whether activity on this wiki has halted or not.
I would love to see priority.wiki succeed, especially given its high-quality design & the broad sweep of content already on there.
This seems like a dangerous period where the project is likely to be abandoned (more likely than during the post-launch honeymoon, at least).
My current guess is that priority.wiki falls into a state of disuse & disrepair over the next 6 to 18 months, if no one intervenes. Does that match the views of others?
Perhaps tighter integration with the Forum and/or effectivealtruism.org would help invigorate the wiki. I’ll try to think of others things that could help too.
I personally contribute to https://causeprioritization.org/. Its founder has been consistently contributing to it, they have a lot of experience with wikis, and they have a strong work ethics. They’ve also been going on since 2014. I also try to contribute to Wikipedia first, and only go to another wiki if it doesn’t fit on Wikipedia for some reasons.
I would like to see someone apply for a grant from the EA Meta Fund to move the CP wiki to the MediaWiki platform, create some initial content, and host it on wiki.effectivealtruism.org. Although maybe the priority, wiki-wise, would be to improve some Wikipedia pages instead.
Whenever I read something, I keep this in mind. If I’m going to take notes, I might as well see if it would fit on some wikis.
I think the best ways to help, in order, would be: -if you know someone that could interested in improving the wiki, suggest them to apply for a grant from the EA Meta Fund (https://app.effectivealtruism.org/funds/ea-community)
-reduce the competition (move priority.wiki ’s content to https://causeprioritization.org/, and then delete priority.wiki) so that the few contributors there are collaborate on the same platform
-whenever you read something, see if it would be useful to integrate this in a wiki
-if you know someone reading or researching on some causes (or see a post like this on a social platform), and you think they could make good contributions, invite them to do so

Update: seems like priority.wiki has been deprioritized :-/
Heh, just came here to ask the same.
Curious if you have data on number of contributors, number of edits, number of unique visitors, etc.
