Hey, I'm messing about with a little something:
http://danlyke.gamahuche.com/polidb/browse.cgi?id=156
You can enter your own assertions at
http://danlyke.gamahuche.com/polidb/assert.cgi
And I forget whether or not this is automatically approving everything yet, but you can see any assertions you've made with by appending an "&unpublished=1" at the end of :
http://danlyke.gamahuche.com/p.../browse.cgi?id=156&unpublished=1
There's the start of the content flow behind it with some notions of trust and verification and all of that, the general idea is that we need an IMDB for politics.

[edit history]
There's a bug in your HTML markup that's keeping the first link from showing up in my browser. The
end title tag needs a closing ">".

Thank you. Knew I should've written this with my application framework rather than just slapping it out as dirty Perl![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png)

It looks like assertions has the same problem.

I love this idea from a consumer standpoint (meaning I'd love to have it available to use), but I'm not sure how I could/would contribute. I don't pay that granular attention to political figures. (I also don't fully understand the paradigm - "assertions"?)
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
