RE: Caribbean sailing and cruising info!
I did something similar some few years ago, tried to make a Norwegian wiki for boat owners - being a practical reference guide both on geographical information as well as guides on boat maintenance, tips and hints on what to look for when buying a boat, directory of boat-related companies, even supermarkeds and other relevant shops with boat-friendly location, etc.
Unfortunately the contribution rate was very poor, I created like 98% of the content myself, in addition that I had the burden of technical maintenance. Eventually I didn't manage to find the time for the latter and I had to can the project. It's a pity, I believe I made great stuff.
The name of the project was båtwiki.no
Yea no body wants to contribute. The only successful one was active captain that garmin just bought. Im adding 1000 pictures of all the locations ive been to that i think will put me over the top. When i push it in FB groups im getting 40,000 hits a month for free!
