Competition Or Embellishment/Enhancement?

You be the judge.

It seems Jimmy (Jimbo) Wales has an idea to improve politics. If you don't know, he's the guy who founded Wikipedia.

He's starting a Wiki for political campaigns.

One hallmark of the blog and wiki world is that we do not wait for permission before making things happen. If something needs to be done, we do it. Well, campaigns need to sit up and take notice of the Internet, take notice of bloggers, take notice of wikis, and engage with us in a constructive way.

The candidates who will win elections in the future will be the candidates who build genuinely participative campaigns by generating and expanding genuine communities of engaged citizens.

I am launching today a new Wikia website aimed at being a central meeting ground for people on all sides of the political spectrum who think that it is time for politics to become more participatory, and more intelligent.
