As the maintainer of a public Google doc, I just gotta say, people...
(some people, not you)... people do stuff that just makes no sense.
It's not vandalism, but the effect is the same. I check the doc after
every use (google sends me an email, and I can see the current version
or just the changes), and quite often I have to fix things or remove
columns that have become worthless. A wiki would have more
accountability and reversionability, but I will advocate for what I
think is the best course. I think it works, it's working now, and we
don't have to change our behavior.

Just post posts. "I weighed my Honjo fenders, and they weighed X
grams, which is Y lbs." In five years when you forget, you can search
the group. If you think you'll search for "weight" instead of
"weighed," use that. Since ALL data is saved, you can judge by the
preponderance of the evidence,.Curious people aren't at the mercy of
last editor's accidents, innocence or idiocy. If there's bad data in a
conversation, there will be two people pointing it out. If it's a
topic for debate... it will get debated.

Post your information here. As an archival resource it's seamless,
it's part of the discussion, and it's archived.
