Hi Samuel,
That's really GREAT - we need that a lot for many "sensitive" topics.
Yes. Also for reconciling differences between sources in different languages - which often carry their own quiet biases.
The Foundation is now in a position to help support this sort of work with better contacts and brainstorming (than it was 5 years ago when these ideas were first developed), but someone still needs to design and run these projects... I don't think anyone is working on these ideas at the moment.
(Erik, David Strauss, Stirling -- any recent thoughts on the matter? WikiData as a concept has been worked on in various ways, but I haven't seen any discussion of this particular implementation.)
Sincerely,
Pavlo
