A list of terms would be very useful. As for keeping references joined, so
for instance on the article that defines the UD you would like a references
section on the bottom which links to one of your pages or one of the posts
in this discussion thread? I favor that, is it what you meant?

After a cursory look I did come across this service:
http://www.imaginationcubed.com/LaunchPage Which lets one draw an image,
and then forward it to an e-mail address. Others can then further edit it
with their own writings and color. Although I do not know how long the
images are saved.
