#72This is really great idea. Today I don't trust the journalists, but if they provide references atleast there is a bit a scope for trusting a particular article. ofcourse, provided the references can stand the scrutiny.

#73Cool platform. One suggestion - create a unique url/route for each article. I wanted to send a particular article to a friend, but realized there's no way to provide a unique link.

#75"open source" is not the right term and also is not a verb. "transparency" is the word you are looking for. It's more general and predates "open source" by far.
"Open source" is absolutely a verb. "I open sourced my latest work project this month".
It's also a term that seems to be used similarly to the post title in contexts outside of software. For example, I subscribe to a podcast that covers arms control, where they frequently use the term "open source" to describe analysis derived publicly available sources and methods.

Thanks :) Indeed they have unique urls, I'll see if I can make that clearer on the landing page:

#77What problem does this solve that existing reputation systems don't? When I read a New Yorker article, for example, part of what my subscription is paying for is considerable skilled labor by a group of in-house fact checkers. How does moving this work to an outside free platform improve the situation? Moreover, how do you replicate work like calling sources to verify statements before publication? I wrote a short pi…
> What problem does this solve that existing reputation systems don't? To turn its slogan into an analogy: the New Yorker is high quality closed source software. If you disagree with the New Yorker, you can't file a bug report. You might say, "I wouldn't want to," either because of something on your end, or something on the New Yorker's end. Continuing the analogy, there are closed-source models, open-source-but-clos…
If the New Yorker makes a factual error, you will get a lot of public attention for correcting them, and it will be a big deal.

#79Great project, but this seems like a classic example of a programmer naively assuming a technical solution can solve a social problem.
But it might be worth a try. Wikipedia does pretty well imho but if someone would told me the idea I would never thought that it would work.
Wikipedia has flaws,too. 1. Your account need to have good history or social repo for your edits to be seriously considered by Wikipedia admins. 2. Admin can have their own set of bias and can decide to ignore edits.
Remember Wikipedia is a centralized and under control of single entity, fact that they rely on donation doesn't change anything.

Just because something has flaws doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea to do it.
