Re: leftist encyclopedia

[jjlassen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I suppose people could set up a leftist wikipedia under PEN-L auspices, but
that kind of defeats the purpose of the existing wikipedia: it's encyclopedic
embrace.

At the same time, though, I very much agree that we need better ways to
communicate and be able to build on our strengths, knowledge and experience.
Email lists are great, but the threshold for posting is high, and hence lots of
people unfortunately lurk. I?m not sure if a wiki is the best way to solve this
problem.

Another form that might be more useful is the portal. A good example of a
portal is http://info.interactivist.net/

I?m willing to work with people interested in getting something similar set up,
but would also be happy to help with the wiki project.

Cheers,

Jonathan
