[EM] Announcement: new election-methods Wiki!

[Dan Keshet]

With gracious hosting and technical help from Rob Lanphier, Electowiki 
[ http://wiki.electorama.com] has been established: a new free-content wiki 
dedicated to discussing election methods related material.  This wiki is 
intended first and foremost for the election-methods at electorama.com and 
Electorama community.

The Frequently Asked Question 
[ http://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Electowiki:FAQ ] 

Why not just use Wikipedia?

1. Wikipedia is not a research community. New systems, new methods for 
evaluating systems, new insight, and new jargon are invented frequently on 
the mailing list. Electowiki can serve as the wiki for this research 
community.

2. Many of us research not just for knowledge, but also for change. Electowiki 
can be the place where we collaborate on arguments for change, craft draft 
letters to use when we write to groups where we are involved, et cetera.  The 
mailing list already serves this purpose, but a wiki can serve it even 
better.

Because Electowiki and Wikipedia's content are both free content, they can be 
perfect complements to one another, incorporating content from the other 
whenever useful.  Toward that end, I have seeded the site with articles from 
Wikipedia's voting projects.  I hope that everyone reading this will join in 
and make it something great.
