Eric Flint's book 1632. Is this book and the stories associated with it the first bookipedia?
With so many people on the internet writing stories set in the 1632 universe, I wonder if this is the first bookipedia. Or maybe there is already one that I am unaware of.

The ‘Age of Conversation’ - a collaborative book is probably the first 'bookipedia', as you call it.
An excerpt from an online article about this effort:
WRITING IN THE TIME OF WEB 2.0
December 28, 2008
Neha Tara Mehta
Nearly 1,500 authors from 83 countries and 63,200 words of text. Their writing medium? A website that was accessed six lakh times from March to July this year. The goal? Making it to the Limca Book of Records for being the largest number of co-authors writing a single book.
It was at 2.30 pm this January 21 that the yetuntitled book — which is now going through its final round of edits — was conceived by two IIM-Indore students over Maggi instant noodles and coffee. Dhruv Bhushan, 23, and Anubhav Jain, 24, while preparing for CAT in Delhi, had decided to launch their own venture one day. “We wanted to create employment and make money,” says Jain. As campus placements were underway, they still hadn’t finalised the business plan for the million-dollar baby of their dreams.

Then, there is also Codapedia - http://www.codapedia.com/
which a collection of Web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content for reimbursement for physician services, providing user-generated content related to billing, coding, collections, and compliance for medical practices. PHEW!!!
