Swarm Reporting Techniques

Who knows, maybe this shit will work out alright. Mark Twain always said that while a crowd can be easily distracted, their attention is never held for long, and in the long run they will generally come to a concensus on the correct decision. He was speaking in terms of moral progress, as can be seen in general over the course of time; but perhaps it's true on a shorter time-scale here because of the speed of feedback and the fact that such disparate groups of people are connected together with voices that can be heard.
At the very least, the project seems worthwhile, and given the success of the wiki movements, this sort of wiki-journalism seems like an obvious outgrowth. I definitely do like the assignments that are given out, though. That's a cool touch...
