WikiProject Socialism seeks to improve Wikipedia's articles on all aspects of socialism. This includes coverage of the different socialist philosophies and alternatives, as well as socialist political action, parties and candidates worldwide. It also seeks to improve wikipedia articles on political and economic subjects that are sorely lacking in analysis of how government policies negatively effect society, using reliably sourced material from socialist-oriented academics and experts, as well as relevant material published in mainstream sources.

While I think a revleft wiki would be great, despite numerous attempts it just hasn't gotten of the ground. I actually first found revleft through the Red Apollo wiki, which got off to a good start but is now down.
But more useful for purposes of reaching a mass audience is the work done on wikipedia itself. It'll be an up-hill fight to influence articles on Mao, Stalin, Lenin, or Soviet history. To many entrenched interests there. But on articles relating to Marxist theory, which may actually be more relevant to revolutionaries, we have the field to ourselves. The most an obstructionist can do is add a criticism section. Given the importance of Communism to 20th century history, it would be hard to challenge the significance of Marxist theory.
The Wikiproject socialism is a good place to coordinate improvement and creation of articles related to socialism and communism. If you have a wiki account I suggest you add your name to the list.
