For me, the wiki was the perfect way to learn pretty much everything i now know about synbio / diy bio etc. since once you wrote about a topic, you got an idea of it. That's also pretty much how www.synbio.info happend. First, it was just a notebook for me and then Eddy from deskgen had the idea to make it public and that's what we did.
Everytime the wiki idea starts off in this forum it get's after a few posts into a "which tech should we use" discussion, open source, etc. but I think that's not a relevant discussion for starting such a thing.
Much more interesting I find the question "What content would you want to have on such a wiki?", from that you would need to figure out on what level you start writing your articles. Should it be for complete novices in the bio field, should it be for biologists that have never worked with DIY Bio, should it address the greater public on what's going on in the field?
What are you thoughts on this?

Multiple information sources is part of the problem. There needs to be a place for consensus. If wikipedia was spread out over 10 different sites it would be 1/10^6 as effective. I wish I had time to put this together.--

Perhaps we can make a kickstarter.
There's a few different wikis floating around already--
