Dear Wiki-colleagues,

I'm happy to announce that the WikiFactcheck project I described at
Wikisym/Wikimania has been formally submitted for the Knight News
Challenge, and I welcome and appreciate your feedback.

WikiFactcheck: crowd-sourced fact checking and verification
* Proposal: http://bit.ly/knightwikifactcheck
* Site: http://wikifactcheck.org/wiki

Thanks to many for the ideas and support for getting this initial
prototype started and proposed. If it makes it to the full proposal
stage, I hope to be tapping your brainpower and ideas for more. (I
also appreciate any thoughts and feedback by email, or just edit the
wiki)

Feel free to forward to whoever may be interested.

(NB: This project is not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation)
