Re-open Memory Alpha as a true repository of knowledge

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
Recently we have had a LOT of hidden game history/lore introduced in the way of dev blogs. This information is extremely useful in filling in the gaps the mission storylines just don't cover.

So isn't it time to re-open Memory Alpha - not as a R&D facility - but as the galactic library its supposed to be that includes every scrap of knowledge concerning the game history (including The Path to 2409, the dev blog entries, magazine and book histories, etc.). Let the folks who never visit the forums or read the book/magazine info articles, have a chance to find out about all the hidden goings on the STO universe actually has. No new graphics would have to be done, simply repurpose all existing consoles and item displays to open up dialog boxes about various related information topics. The only hard part is collecting all that knowledge and putting it in one place. o:)
My consolidated list of game improvements for STO:

    It's been brought up and shot down more than i can remember.
    Long story short:
    - Memory Alpha is useless
    - Memory Alpha is hideous
    - Restyling an old map would be a waste of time and money for an already overstretched development team.

    It'd be nice if people got it in their heads that it is not going to happen and thus stop asking.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    The Memory Alpha Location was intersting, in design I would not mind seeing it return as a social hub

    Too many unused social hubs already.

    I'd like to see it come back as a repository of knowledge too. A galactic library, if you will.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D
