I can't keep track of the carnage

So I went away up north to bask in the sweat and rain and deadly jellyfish - for a week - and when I came back today I found this hive of activity slightly overwhelming. That is, overwhelming in a good way, like having to choose between Gael García Bernal and Benicio Del Toro (in Dr. Gonzo mode) to be your orange-hotpants-wearing cabana boy. And then I thought, what about Marky Mark and Donny and other new kids on the block? They might find it a little hard to find all the trains that have piled up over the months.

What I am trying to say is I think maybe the "Hosted Trainwrecks" part of the site could be kept updated. Not by one person, but by everyone. It could even be tabulated or something, with columns for name, creator, status, last modified, and links (to final zips and dev. nodes, etc, so people can see how it all came together). Of course I realise to start and maintain this would be a pretty big effort, but if everyone tends to their own wrecks, and gentle prodding is given to those who don't update the Hosted Trainwrecks page, eventually it wouldn't be too much of a hassle.

Thoughts?

I was originally intending

I was originally intending for every game to have its own wiki page, because with wikipages the metadata is there for it to automatically show up nicely in table form. Now I'm looking at my own blog post about Train Quest IV and thinking, maybe I should just allow annotation of blog posts and forum topics? Because I don't want to upload it twice.

But yes, we definitely need all the games we've made for the site in one impressive, easy-to-access place.
