That doesn't mean that the ideas can't be used and the project taken 
over.  If there is interest in a module that isn't being maintained 
then there are methods to take over maintenance.  Searching google 
again for ``take over maintenance'' gives a fairly good example of how 
to go about this.

Limiting to site:drupal.org pulls the groups.drupal.org and 
lists.drupal.org data as well.  I limit to drupal.org because that 
limits trash hits that look promising but really aren't.  Wikitools is 
another good module.

Like answer I received asking the same question.  Yes, there are a lot 
of things that we can research before communicating a question and I 
agree that discussion is helpful after the research has been done.

This point alone is worth discussion.  Not just for the wiki instance 
but anytime there is more than one person that can edit a node.  And 
yet, a google proves that even this is discussed already; see [1] and 
[2].
