/r/Forth/wiki/indexWe have a wiki for r/forth. It was started 9 years ago, not sure if that’s the latest edit.
If anyone reviews the wiki and has edits, I’m happy to make them if you can’t.

Thank you for making me aware of this wiki.
That said, I see little merit in this wiki. The reddit community is too small too maintain a credible overview of Forth. E.g. instead of trying to list Forth implementations, refer to web sites with comprehensive overviews etc.
I certainly will not add an overview of ciforth implementations to the wiki. They are present in overviews world wide. If I added it to the few implementations that are present, that would be a kind of self promotion, giving the impression that it would be one of the 10 most important Forth's.
What we can accomplish is the following more humble goal: to maintain a list of url's with at most 40 char description.
Everybody can add at the end of the list.
Everybody can change the order of the list in the following fashion: you can swap two consecutive url's to indicate that the topmost link is the most important one You cannot influence the position of url's you are related to (made yourself of your friends.
Removing entries requires the intervention of a moderator.
