First, let me say that traceroute.org is a wonderful site. I have no desire to pull all of it into wiki format. All I am interested in are the looking glasses and route servers. Since there are only a few hundred of these, I'll still be able to hand check them every few weeks.
Also, being a wiki, users will be able to update the entries themselves.

Thanks for all the hard work you to on traceroute.org. I really appreciate and use it a lot.
