I think there's a terminology issue. We cannot refer to this as a "trust" system, however "Wikitrust" brands it. We just can't. It misleads too many, and implies too much. Call it a "text tracing system" or "a gadget to highlight text origins" instead. It's a lot less glamorous, sounds alot less dramatic, doesn't get the dollars - but it's got zero capability of misleading.
Call it "Wikidrama" or "wikimyspace" instead? ;-)
Seriously, you need to propose the name change to Luca and team. The Wired article is nice publicity for them, but should show them what an epic disaster the name could be.
