No John Maynard Keynes page?  I'd suggest a thread to brainstorm ideas for what to do with the website.

Most excellent.  I was wondering when an Austrian Economics wiki was going to come out -- even thought about starting one myself.  You guys must've had this in the works for a while, I imagine. :P

The Wiki is now one week old and incredibly well structured and very developed.

Here is my question. How much of the efforts put into this forum would be better spent on the Wiki?

This may be a stupid question but how do you get there from the mises.org main page? There is no wiki button anymore.

We had it on the header but it messed some things up.

So yesterday I added a W to the global sidebar. Can you see it?

Anyone who wants to add large sets of data into the Wiki, let me know by emailing [email protected]

I have extensive experience with scripting and macros, and can probably help load in lists and other such data relatively hands free.

If you email, please include "mises wiki" in the subject line of the email.

I'm thinking of a common questions section, or a FAQ. Stuff that we can redirect people to. Like Minimum wage? Common positions that we take and such.

Filc,

I think that the article on minimum wage would describe that in much greater detail (when it's brought up to standards).  All the reader needs to do is search "minimum wage".

Talking about standards, should we design something like a FAC process?  Not something anybody needs to abide by, but something somebody can do if they're interested.  Maybe we can set it up as a wikiproject at first, instead a project-wide thing.
