Actually, I've just considered this a bit longer (for my sins). It
occurs to me that perhaps you're not looking at big issues (like
abortion) but you perhaps mean something that would invigorate local
politics? You did give the example of building a bridge after all.

I suppose that would be an innovation: a wiki that covers political
issues that would be considered "non-notable" on Wikipedia.

The trouble you're going to have then, though, is participation. How
many people are going to want to join together to create a few pages
detailing the decision to stop the 34B bus service?
