[Air-l] Response to discussion on Wikis

[Andrew Russell]

This reminds me - some historians of science are engaged in a similar  
type of "trusted Wikipedia" that Alex and some others were discussing  
on this list a while back.  I don't remember seeing this particular  
project posted in this forum -

History of Science Collaboration of the Month page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:HOSCOTM

I'm not sure how to evaluate the relative "success" of these monthly  
projects, but maybe the project facilitators have some sort of metric  
or tools for evaluation.
