For the past few weeks I have been working on a little project: the Austrian Economics Wiki at http://austrianeconomics.wikia.com/.

Now, there have been other attempts at making a wiki and I thought it is great... until my enthusiasm waned. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with collections of articles or opinion pieces. But an article does not a wiki make. With easy linking to detailed pages, with definitions of concepts and referenced materials from authorities on any given topic, a solid wiki will supply all the background for your arguments. There is a little 'demo' on the topic of fiat money, it hopefully demonstrates how a grown wiki could look like. A visitor to the page could click around and find his way through the whole universe of Austrian Economics.

In order to actually make the wiki, you need some sort of seed - something to link new concepts, articles and arguments to. That's what I've been trying to make. It is really just a seed. With your help, it can grow.

I am pretty sure I made many mistakes and fatal omissions - please help to fix them.
