I wanted to send the first announcement out to the PR Watch internal 
mailing list, and I also mentioned it a couple of days ago on 
wikitech-l. My announcement to wikien-l went out earlier today. (I 
get the digest, so I didn't see Stevertigo's comment until after I 
sent the announcement here.)

It will be interesting to see if "fairness and accuracy" launches 
more edit wars than NPOV. What I'm *hoping* is that it will put more 
onus on contributors to include documentation for their claims when 
there is a disagreement. This whole project is an experiment, and I'm 
quite curious myself to see how it unfolds.

So are you "Surfer Dude" on Disinfopedia? Censorious minds want to know. ;)

If you want to see my global warming articles, you don't have to wait 
for Disinfopedia. Just check out the PR Watch archives.
