Back in Boise, land of miscellaneous boxen.
Continued working with wikipedia. It is a good activity for killing odd bits of time. Unlike most modern coding activities (for me anyway) it can easily be dropped at a moments notice and picked back up later with little loss. Depending on your mood and the time available one can browse interesting subjects, correct or enter discrete facts, or tackle an outline, index or detailed article. The site is also structured well to allow kibitzing and trivial corrections or editing for style and content.
A feature that might be interesting to add would be a trust metric and certified articles and users. Then perhaps the best or certified articles could be protected with a change lock as follows:
One highlights the portion to edit, enters the changes in the popup screen and an indiciator or shading is entered in the original article to indicate there is a proposed change. Subsequent readers can click into the popup and revise or certify the change. When the change certification point threshhold is passed via the clicked certifications then the change is made in the certified article.
