Default Anyone interested in doing a political wiki?
Would enough people here be interested in doing a British/EU political wiki? The idea would be to build up a large database of political knowledge about politicians, laws, public figures, party policies and so on. Obviously it would have to be done in a objective manner (no promotion/slating of parties), but it could provide a serious platform for clear presentation of various information that doesn't make it into the mass media.

This would be a mediawiki installation, bridged from this forum so you can use the same username and password on both.

We can set usergroups, and permission levels before you ask!

I'm familiar with MediaWiki, Tony.
I was more referring to potential issues of keeping the content quality high.

I suppose that if we can limit those who can edit it, then we can just block anyone who doesn't stick to the rules.

What would be your criteria for "limit[ing] those who can edit it"?
