Yes. The main purpose is to list exactly what you get in the box. Pictures are a bonus!

Allright, I'll post the details. I don't know how to exactly post pictures to a wiki, so a badly formatted simple list is all I can post for now.
EDIT
Ugh, been typing for a while now, I might be being a bit TOO detailed in the description. If someone could properly format the post in Death Company, would be great. I have NEVER edited a wiki, you could probably tell that already though.

After not finding anything on google, I began to wonder if some sort of centralized catalog would be a valuable resource to have. I have the webspace right now, so it would just be a matter of setting it up (I'm thinking a wiki), but I wonder if anyone would actually use something like that. I'd appreciate feedback on the idea.
There's a small shield thing like a terminator shoulder shield that comes with the Ravenwing Sprue. The instructions don't tell you what it is or where it goes but it's a radar dish for the sensor array which funnily enough it's right next to on the sprue. A site with this type of info would be a great resource.
It would also be nice to have info on what parts can readily (no cutting or filing) be replaced by others, such as what turrets can be swapped, what weapon platforms will fit on a razorback.

They way we have been doing it is that if we can get a better pic, we use it. So as even a horribad (word is being stolen from now on) pic is better then none

When my Guardsman come in (~2 weeks) I'll try to resist ripping straight into them. No guarantees, but I'll try to get some pictures. 3000px by 2000px or so OK? I'll grab some of my brothers Necron sprues next time I get a chance too.
Is this project still alive?

We're slowly building up a useful resource, but it needs some purging to get rid of the rampant spam. How do you delete a page? I can erase the content in a couple of clicks, but the empty page with its scrapcode title remains. Do you need to be an admin?
Also people could try uploading pictures themselves. You can pick up the necessary code by looking at an existing page. It's very basic. It can be made beautiful later, what matters now is just the basic content.
Spread the word and try to contribute where possible. I seem to be working about 25 hours a day at the moment but I'll get some more stuff up as soon as I can.

Erm isn't this old? I mean I've uploaded lots of tau sprues before to the wiki... They were done last year:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Tau_Sprues
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but anyway, those tau sprues on red backgrounds are mine so use em! (I even got a pm from another site about them as they were making a database too)
Can someone PM me about this as it's confusing!

The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all
We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Would we be allowed to post up sprue pics from the Games Workshop website? I can see that being an easy way of getting images of a lot of kits (the new Dark Eldar in particular, drool...).
