Like Wiki? A team at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University is putting together the Game Innovation Database (GIDb), which allows users to browse and edit content much like the Wikipedia. We have created the Game Innovation Database in order to create a historical record of which innovations appeared when, and why they are important," said Professor Jesse Schell. "So many videogame innovations have occurred so fast that there is a danger that many fascinating and important innovations will be forgotten." There are four hundred entries so far, and the team is trying to rope in gamers to contribute and correct errors. It's not mistakes that ought to cause concern, but flame wars. —Brian Ashcraft
