I've pondered about this before but I came to the conclusion that
mapping is a little different than adding knowledge to a wiki. You can
always add map details by travelling about, or based on new sets of
data imported, or new aerial imagery available. However once your
knowledge on a topic has been written it's unlikely you will learn
much more on that topic and the number of topics you know about will
possibly also be limited.
