Yes that would be a good thing.  http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Fuzzing
is a decent page.  The Wikipedia on fuzzing isn't that great.  Both are
incomplete and don't include any tool analysis.  Which tools got links
seems fairly random too.  A more complete work is required.  Intro for
newbies would probably be nice too.  Online resources are the best for
up-to-date information and presenting the raw data + links.  However,
books can be better at explaining and covering an entire discipline such
as fuzzing.  Particularly if a resource is needed for an academic
setting like a college course.

I believe there are three Fuzzing books in the making. 
Sutten/Green/Amini, Gadi Evron I think is writing one, and
Takanen/DeMott are writing one.  I believe they're all going to come out
before the end of this year.  (I only know the details of one of those
three! :) )
