The wiki is small but growing fast with the help of many RationalWikians who are trying to add some [[RationalWiki]] sense and logic though a few have been trolling. RationalWiki has an article on A Storehouse of Knowledge [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/A_Storehouse_of_Knowledge] and details current events there [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/RationalWiki:What_is_going_on_at_ASK%3F#June_2009].

It appears there was quite a bit of money spent to get the wiki well designed and someone thought of a really good name for it.  aSK can't compete with the lavish design that the Schlafly family paid for at Conservapedia but its supporters probably think aSK makes up for that by being more reasonable.
