Many years ago, I had high hopes of building an online "CURE" (Compleat User RPL Encyclopedia) which would serve the purpose you seek... but after spending a few months tinkering with it, the tedium got boring, and all progress stopped. It never even got put into wiki form, although having thorough cross-references was a goal. You can see its dessicated skeleton here: http://holyjoe.net/hp/CURE/ I think the only tab with any content is the "Numbers and Symbols" tab. Old timers might enjoy reading the names of the non-existent "Articles" in each letter tab; some are quite arcane. I think each deserves a full-length article... some day.

Maybe I'll get back to the CURE when I retire and nobody uses RPL any more. Wink

This is exactly what I had in mind. The problem, as you discovered yourself, is that it is an almost impossible task for one person. That is why the Wiki part of it is important in my opinion, at least if it is possible to whip up enough interest so that more than one person will actually create articles and contents. By using Mediawiki with Semantic Mediawiki extension a lot of the cross indexing could be done automatically (you create an article describing one key, various key lists and indexes can be generated automatically).
