I agree that the policy forum would be instructive to those viewing, help
develop the policies themselves, and is a very important function of the
political wiki. I feel that this comes in time with the development of the
political wiki as a clearinghouse of information, a clearinghouse that is
the most current, neutral, and comprehensive. If the political wiki can
become the best place to easily find out everything one wants to know, the
users drawn to it will naturally discuss and debate (hopefully including new
members who would never have become involved). The interest generated in
this way will lead to the wiki becoming an obvious place for public agents
with stated beliefs to develop policy in the open-source format you
mentioned.

Can't wait.
