Recently I was wandering if there is someone or some group preserving , collecting , organizing and publishing all the knowledge of mankind ever created throughout its existence so that if ever mankind faces the 6th mass extinction we don't have to reinvent the wheel and can have a kick start to our new post apocalyptic civilization .

Be the change you want to see in the world...

Heck most of the hard work is already done for you, since the software that runs Wikipedia is open source.

Many people have tried that before. Wikis just aren't that appealing anymore. Today's internet is all about social media.

If there's anything that is absolutely atrocious as a searchable repository of knowledge, it's social media.
