re; leftist encylcopedia



Hello All,
J.D. writes,
Anyway, every once and awhile, someone suggests that pen-l produce some sort
of
collective project, but the prospect always seems akin to that of herding
cats.
The existence of the WikiPedia suggests two ideas:

Doyle,
Wonderful suggestion.  Further Pen-L can foster debates for the structure of
this Encyclopedia.

Also, more importantly how does one create a collaborative left document
with the tools we have?

While wikipedias are sort of ok, they really seem like primitive steps
toward collaboration building documents that the working class can use.  For
example, in my view cell phone access to the web is going to be important.
How does one use the encyclopedia to address what it means to carry a
cellphone around and talk to whomever whenever one feels like.  That is how
could the wikipedia content reflect interactivity?

Still this is one of the very best things I've ever seen on Pen-L.  The
spirit I mean to think of collaborating instead of lone wolves saying what
is often interesting thoughts but without a sense of how to bond together in
solidarity to build something more than what individual expression
accomplishes.  Hooray for JD.
thanks,
Doyle
