[EM] invitation to participate in encyclopedia

[Rob Lanphier]

I'd like to second this plea.  I've spent a lot of time on Wikipedia,
which has been very well spent from an education and advocacy perspective.
Wikipedia is making incredible progress in quality of content, quantity of
content, readership, and general reputation.

If you visited it early on when I first pointed it out to this list last
year (or so), go back and look again.  The depth of material on voting
systems alone is truly impressive.  However, there's still a lot more work
to do, and this group is ideally suited to do that type of work.
