Military Simulation Wikipedia

For decades the military has maintained catalogs of the simulation systems that have been developed, what their capabilities are, and who to contact to get them. The earliest version that I saw was a 2-column printed set from the late 1980’s. Since then, this catalog has gone electronic, distributed on floppy disks in the 1990s; and more recently has gone online at MSIAC. However, it is something that is easy to neglect and to let fall out of date. Perhaps we can turn authorship of the catalog over to the community at large using a Wiki. The Wikipedia has shown that such open communities tend to create documents that are accurate, detailed, and current – most of the time. The interests of the many serve to police the documents to eliminate or correct inaccuracies in the entries.
