Wikipolitics

Jimmy "Wikipedia" Wales is starting his next big project. "[B]roadcast media brought us broadcast politics, and now participatory media will bring us participatory politics. But for this to happen, we have to make it happen."

Will it work? We won't know until we invent it.

Mission statement here. Mailing list here. [Tags: politics wikipedia jimmy_wales wikis]

"Protected "Mission Statement": the letter shouldn't be changed. temporarily protecting to avoid vandalism"

I think there's an answer to how well it will work right there ...

Anyway: Punditry Is Not Democracy.

It's only the original version of Jimmy's letter that's protected, and only from unregistered users. The public version at Mission Statement/Public version is still completely editable, and even the original can be edited by anyone who has logged in.
