Begun by students and faculty at the Cornell University Department of Communication, it's content is intended to be a tool for understanding what characteristics the ideal candidate would have, as determined through a consensus among the community of users. For the university, the endeavor is a research project investigating online civic participation. The site is run on MediaWiki and registering an account is required to edit.
