By everything I mean Vanilla lore, Disco lore, Official faction lore, Unofficial and individual (on demand) lore, in aim to create a complex and sufficient picture of a given group/faction/house/etc. Nomad lore is a perfect reference to what I am talking about (though even it has some minor gaps in it).
AND have it all in one place as a handbook (set of handbooks) without the need to search for needed article through all the Discovery internets.
Don't get me wrong, the idea sounds cool. I'm just sceptical about it.
1. It's a LOT of work. After all, it has to be complete, otherwise it's just another place that does not contain everything just like faction information and the wiki.
2. Mixing official lore with unofficial lore would make quite a mess and remember: Official Factions do NOT actually get to decide their NPC factions lore in most situations. Faction Rights mention that they can not force non-canon lore on others. The Nomads are not a normal faction keep that in mind. They used to not have any indies so they had more influence over their lore, similar to non-vanilla factions like CR, SCRA and HF.
3. The Wiki has become problematic due to it being out-date, I suspect this project is even more susceptible to that. At least the wiki can at any point be edited by anyone.
