[Campaigns-l] Welcome; getting down to work :)

[Genghis Conn]

In this case I think the best thing we can do is not to have a single
written piece on an issue, but instead allow the creation of dozens, each
with a different take. Since this is a wiki, unless we do something like
password protect every single hot button issue, we're going to have dozens
of partisans changing what's written, anyway.

If we let many people create their own take on an issue, then at least
people get to choose and no one can accuse the wiki of bias. Hopefully,
writers can be encouraged to put their opinions in their own section, rather
than in someone else's.
