We the People: Name a Wiki?

January 28th, 2010

An exciting part of our project We the People will be building a cutting edge community Wiki, a tool to take good citizenship online to solve problems rather than e-scream at each other. We’ll take this model to new communities, so you’ll be the start of breaking new ground on the internet nationally. Confused about a local issue or clueless about a state vote? Look it up on the Wiki for a basic primer built by fellow citizens in constructive partnership. Your part? As simple as adding what you know to the mix. You can sign up to test drive the contraption (currently busy building it) when you sign up for our newsletter HERE. Good behavior is mandatory, so if you want to hurl putrid names at the people you disagree with, you’ll have to go to the whole rest of the internet.

Post on this thread if you’ve got a better idea as to what to call our Wiki. Working name is “We the Wiki” in a hat tip to our founding fathers and the whole “We the People” notion. Then when everyone in America uses it, we’ll affectionately call it “The Weki.” If you think this is a train wreck and want to save us from ourselves, please help us innovate. We’ll probably come up with a prize for the winning name.
