Computational Intelligence in the wind

There seems to be a lot of chatter about genetic algorithms in recent days, for example:

• Genetic A/B Testing with JavaScript: a discussion by John Resig about reverse engineering the Genetify service that seemingly uses a genetic algorithm to drive split testing. Seems like a problematic approach to me, good for sampling the space, but poor for confidence-based decision making over what design to choose.
• CSSEvolve: guided stylesheet evolution: an introduction by Andrew Cantino to CSS Evolve service by IterationLabs that provides an interactive GA for basic sampling CSS designs for a given page (varies fonts, colors, etc). Interesting notion, and likely a good application for an interactive evolutionary algorithm.
  
• Evolution Produces Better Antenna; Casey Luskin Very Upset: on Good Math, Bad Math by Mark Chu-Carroll discussing how some intelligent design evangelist talking about the post of another evangelist, both of which were unhappy by the (awesome) GA-designed antenna work at NASA from 2004 (old news).

For some reason (I was procrastinating), all of this GA talk motivated me to update the wikipedia page for the general and specific fields of research for my doctoral work. I definition and techniques sections as well as cleaned up the Artificial Immune Systems page, and kicked off a new Clonal Selection Algorithms wiki entry. All very basic, but I expect to add more content over the coming days.

Although I've created wiki pages before, this recent bout got me thinking how useful this service could be if it were elaborated by experts in the field. Although it's an encyclopedia, it would be within scope to motivate fields of research, even highlight open problems and provide sample code and test data. Wiki pages could be a useful valuable scientific resources, rather than a #1 Google result that is ignored by those in the field. I'm now thinking how Knol fits into these perspective...
