[imkrowwr] Organizing information

Organizing information, publishing the organized form into public domain on the web, might be the activity that a "normal person" could do in their free time that will have the most impact on the world, because information is a public good.

(Though this might be false: In order to understand information well enough to organize it, one might need to have interacted with it, done actions with it, actions which might not be accessible to a normal person.)

One does not need other people, their cooperation, to organize information.  Productivity often depends on other people: this is an exception.

Previous vaguely similar ideas: Writing knowledge, Developing free software.

Inspired by the question: what would you do if you had enough money to live comfortably for life (or some other means of living comfortably in life), but not more than that: not enough money to exercise power with.
