The Open Encyclopedia of Chess Openings (OECO) is a place where chess enthusiasts, armed only with a passion for chess and commercially available chess software, can post their own analysis of chess openings.
The OECO began as a research project in early 2004. In 2008 the project made its public debut with the publication of The Final Theory of Chess. The
following year the OECO project launched the current public wiki in order to allow any member of the chess community to participate in this work.
In a nutshell, the OECO 1) facilitates an "advanced chess" peer-review process; and 2) provides a repository for the accumulation of knowledge of concrete opening analysis. Someone can post computer analysis of a variation and others can either build upon the existing analysis or put forth analysis in support of a different move order.
Does the OECO not have coverage of the opening that you are looking for?
