=== More Perfect ===
''August 2, 2006''
[[Image:MorePerfectLogo.jpg|200px]]
[[More Perfect]] is a commercial venture intending to get people talking about legal and policy issues in the United States. More specifically, it's an experiment in wiki-style, speculative, non-binding policy discussion based around
* specific issues -- ranging from the local (such as maintaining the vitality and relevance of [http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_New_Seattle_Center The New Seattle Center]) to more sweeping (such as [http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=Animal_rights animal rights]); and
* specific documents -- for example, the [http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=Bill_of_Rights Bill of Rights], where the point is clarify the document and elicit more general engagement.
While there is fairly little concrete detail about the structure of or motivations behind the project, the wiki seems open and inviting by design and text is available under a Creative Commons CCASL license.
More Perfect also has a few properties of interest to wiki developers, most notably
* a streamlined, [http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=Recent_Changes cruft-free RecentChanges page] (with full details behind a "Click for more details..." prompt);
* a fairly detailed set of "[http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=What%27s_A_Wiki%3F Getting Started]" pages which, while too long and text-heavy to really be of much use, represent a good attempt at creating an invitation to participate; and
* a convention started by the founders, [http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Timothy Tim] and [http://www.moreperfect.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Chad Chad], of listing specific "issues of interest to me" on user pages.

=== Space Debate ===
''19-Jul-2006''
[[image:SpaceDebateLogo.jpg|left|150px]][[SpaceDebate]] is a collaborative site whose aim is to create a structured “argument tree” which more clearly shows the various points of view on US military space policy. It claims to be like [[Wikipedia]], but I think the similarity is more conceptual than functional. What’s neat is that it allows people with different points of view to air their differences and come out smarter and possibly even on the same page.
The ability to build consensus among people who are geographically diverse and not operating in the same time zones is really exciting and I think this site is one of many to come.    <small>[[RecentChanges.info/SpaceDebate|...read more]]</small>
