Maybe we could just use Wikipedia itself as the vehicle.  (The Wikipedia article
on "computer chess" has sub-articles on minimax, alpha-beta, killer heuristic,
and null move.  The alpha-beta entry has pseudocode.)

Anyone can contribute articles or sub-articles to Wikipedia.  Somebody here, for
example, could submit a sub-article on "futility pruning", which has been
suggested, but not completed, in the "computer chess" article.

There is already a link at the bottom of the Wikipedia "computer chess" article
to the Computer Chess Club.
