Re: Should this list be shut down?

no need for zombie lists, certainly.

i'll check out the wiki, but if this list is to be decommissioned may i
ask quickly: what other resources do folk know of that emphasize new
modes of decentralized organization of and access to information, opinion,
and analysis?  i'm thinking here especially of new and much more
intuitive graphical user interfaces for representing and navigating, as
well as archiving and analyzing, democratic expression.

any ideas?
