"One of the leaders of the project is Dr. Larry Sanger, the co-founder of Wikipedia."

We need someone to check all these news feeds and see how relevant they are to the forum.

Yes, quite relevant, this one.

But we do need someone to check them. RSS feeds should probably be a priority right now. Make sure that they are relevant.

It's good to hear that Digital Universe is after experts. Maybe they'll have a version of the Port Arthur massacre that isn't a pack of bullshit. That remains to be seen.

Does anyone volunteer to help moderate this section? It could be multiple people, probably best to have more than 1 in fact to spread the work out... with the addition of Yahoo! News there's a lot more irrelevant stuff than before...
