Weekly meetings sounds like a good idea.

I am not good with formal meetings but see their benefit: I will attend 
if others are wiling to organize them.

Who would like to be driver for that?  Anyone feeling like taking charge 
please just decide alone¹ on date and time for first meeting, announce 
it here on the list, and let's see how many of us attends the meeting.

I agree with Siri: Discuss and write down in the order and pace you feel 
like.


About wiki editing: Write in the style of (what you guess is) facts - as 
if an encyclopedia on the topic (avoid personal or polemic notes): That 
encourages collaborative development of the notes (i.e. refining the 
truth of the facts).  If something on the wiki is wrong then simply 
correct it (no need to ask first: text is collectively owned).  If 
something is ambiguous or odd (why September?) then ask about it here on 
the list.

¹ We are a small team - I don't think we need to spend time on meta 
discussion of meeting planning.  If you disagree (you are the driver so 
get the final say!) then instead of e.g. doodle.com please consider the 
more open https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/ as decision tool.
