This blog clarified for me what Cpedia is about. As presented in the blog, it does come across as a powerful tool for mining obscure information from the web. Maybe panning gold is an apt metaphor. What you wind up with is going to be full of mud and silt, but if you slosh it around enough, you may get some gold dust to show itself. Most users are expecting fast access to less obscure data and don't have a deep appreciation for that sort of process, however.

In other words, it's a useful tool for an unsightly and messy process. In other words, it is the last thing you'd want to expose to the web at large.
