It's a cool idea which is easy to start but where the main issue lies not in
starting it but in maintaining the relevance and obsolescence on a long term.
Cue here any encyclopedic effort. Basically it takes one dedicated person with
a work of passion, or an organizational commitment with the task being passed
on from years to years.

I don't think it's ridiculous. It's perfectly normal. The bigger a community, a
project, the harder it is to track everything, and the stronger the mistake is
to want to track everything. We end up in a desire to track everything in the
world (world here as what is the cave of a specific community).
Basically embrace the unknown. Accept it. And create meaningful links in
between projects when these links matter for people to follow a hypertext paper
trail.
A monk asked Chao-chou, "I have just entered the monastery: please give me
some guidance."
Chao-chou said, "Have you eaten your rice gruel?"
The monk said,"Yes, I've eaten."
Chao-chou said, "Then go wash your bowl."
