I'd like to start a list of relatively well-defined, narrow policy questions that need to be answered. I propose to ask the question and then put down an article that raises the questions. We can also list off some points in favor or against a specific policy. My idea is that these questions might be taken up by an editorial policy workgroup, with their answers worked into CZ policy pages. --Larry Sanger 23:54, 22 January 2007 (CST)
