Visions of an FSFwiki: What's your vision of the FSFwiki? a reference like wikipedia? a reference like the Star Trek wiki? a source of theory? a home for various polemical essays?

Current highlighted projects:

• Category:Forthcoming publications - Know of a great book or movie being released soon? Search the FSFwiki, and if it's not in, add it.

• Getting started

• Fix the red links: Red links mean someone thinks a page should exist on that topic, but it hasn't been created yet. There are a whole bunch listed at Special pages: Wanted pages. Click on one and jot down whatever you know about that topic.

At the start of this project there are 2,371 "pages wanted" (unique red links; some are even on this page) and about 950 unique pages in the FSFwiki. At the end of the project there should be more pages. New pages breed wanted pages, so total # of pages is our measure of success.
