I have found many posts here mentioning a new implementation of a wiki
using app engine, but I can't seem to find a wiki *about* app engine.
I feel like there are certain things that one can learn by reading
posts from the group, but finding that info involves digging around.
If there was a wiki maybe we could start putting together a cohesive
list of best practices, benchmarks, and other things that the standard
docs lack.

I have been working on a project with a similar goal.
I accumulated a big list of links to documentation, tutorials, best
practices and miscellaneous notes, and put them in a virtual mixing
bowl, shook well, and built an application called "Google Apps for
Dummies".
Check it out: go to gae4dummies.appspot.com and look in at the "Link
City" page, especially the "Good Ideas" and "Good Code" tabs.

There's a lot more material yet to go onto the site, and I have been
pondering whether or not to post material in a wiki format - but I
don't know how easy it will be to "moderate" the site, and keep it
both organized and 'relevant', to use a favorite Google term. What do
you think? Would anyone volunteer to help maintain such a wiki or
similar repository of useful stuff?

Nice work! Your site design looks like a a effective way to curate the
mass of GAE links. (Quite charming too.) Our Atlanta Python group is
holding an App Engine Hackathon soon. I'll be sure to point the
attendees to your references.

Wiki or not, I hope you will find a way to accept other people's
links. I, like most of us I suppose, have a large rough collection,
but no user friendly way to share them. Maybe just a form, or even a
file format for uploads.

Also, see the Google Cookbook. http://appengine-cookbook.appspot.com/
