This is a proposed page where general proposals can be made by the community-at-large under various topics.
The justification for having this page is that all serious policy proposals would be able to have a central location on-wiki that everyone could see, monitor, and make comments on.
Additionally, this page will be a feeding point for those proposals to make it up the various ladders for adjudication. It is not recommended that actual policy is to be established in ad-hoc style or by de facto on this page--rather, it facilitates the ability to make proposals and represent community evaluations.
This will provide a better scope for members, as not everyone is involved in the forums, as well as are recipients of dispatches from the various mailing lists.
Improve general heading
The heading "Join! Help us create the world's most trusted encyclopedia and knowledge base. The general public and experts collaborate, using their real names. A new knowledge society." does not seem to be a good example of the kind of writing to be expected here. Is the last sentence a sentence? I propose, but do not know how to accomplish, the head be changed to something like:
"Join us, and help us create the world's most trusted encylopedia and knowedge base. Where the general public and experts collaborate, using our real names, creating a new society of knowledge." Thomas Mandel 02:00, 9 February 2008 (CST)
