 It would be cool if there was a site that is tracking pending foia requests and a group discussing how to improve them or enforce them. Obviously it gets into the practice of law so it’s tricky but I would be into supporting that.

 Any FOI answer is public and unprotected by any disclosure laws, so a website could completely be done and would be 100% legal.  

In fact, many jurisdictions do publish all foi answers provided.  You might have to dig a bit but most FOI answers are posted usually.

What's missing is an easily searchable database a-la Wikipedia.

 Right, what I meant is (as a lawyer) I would have to be carefuly participating int he recommendation of changes, etc., to requests as it could be construed to be the practice of law.  But I would love to see, and would contribute to, building a Wiki like this to the extent I can.  It would be a great way to get more eyeballs on efforts

 Anonymity is quite freeing .  I highly recommend.
