If you are "new to android", please consider getting 12-18 months of
experience with the platform first before trying to create a resource
that requires at least that level of expertise just to curate. Along
the way, you can avail yourself of the copious resources that the
Android developer community have painstakingly put together since late
2007, such as nearly 180,000 posts on this very Google Group:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers
and nearly 70,000 pages worth of questions and answers on StackOverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/android
And all the blogs, forums, wikis, etc. that we have collectively
generated. Perhaps at that time you will determine that another
English-language Android development wiki is not what the world needs.
From what I can tell, non-English speakers are chronically
under-served, so perhaps you will determine at that time to create an
Android development resource for some other language. Or, perhaps you
will just create a custom search engine, indexing known good Android
development resources. Or, perhaps you will think of something else.
However, if after you have 12-18 months of Android development
experience, you still want to create yet another English-language
Android development wiki, go for it. Hopefully, by then, you will be
able to seed it yourself -- a few hundred pages *might* be sufficient.
I know from personal experience that a few dozen pages will not. As
TreKing pointed out, an empty wiki will tend to remain empty (I think
that's Newton's Fourth Law of Internet Thermodynamics...).
