Wiki is fine if all you want is a comparison table, but I think what's called for is a real site with voting, staff reviews, and user reviews. Make sure to get several viewpoints, etc. Also, that way you avoid the [citation needed] buggers >.> And of course, everything would use ReCaptcha. Improve the voip business, AND do intelligent OCR. Onward I say!

Actually, Wikipedia works pretty well, because its access is so open to<br>so many people, and there is indeed a relatively trustworthy publisher<br>which implements fairly content-neutral policies to prevent most common
<br>abuses. Smaller communities with the same model produce a much less<br>accurate description of their subject, like the Conservopedia.<br><br> But this directory will suffer from all the worst flaws of those<br>
models. While representing itself as a tool in the critical path of the<br>most fundamental voice network business decisions. Sounds like a<br>trainwreck right in the station.<br><br><br>On Fri, 2007-07-13 at 10:46 -0400, Charles Vance wrote:
