[Foundation-l] Project proposal: Lookup directory wiki

[Virgil Ierubino]

I have suggested a new project at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lookup_directory_wiki . Please have a look.

In short, the wiki has information on any person or organisation on the
planet. The page explains this concept in more detail.

Types of information include: contact, biographical, genealogical,
corporate, etc.

Strict attention is paid to data-protection laws, so very strong emphasis is
placed on citing sources and verifiability, although legitimate sources are
slightly more lax than Wikipedia (e.g. a home website is a good source for a
person's contact information). Vandalism through attacks, and personal
vanity, are kept strictly in check just like on Wikipedia.

*Any* person or organisation may have a page as anyone may be of interest to
someone else; and the wiki is interested in demographics, a global
documentation of individuals.

Tell me what you think!
