Similar to something I pitched them, and I've also been putting my ideas up on my blog, most of which didn't get past the initial 'what do you think?' Maybe you could email me and I'll send over the pitch - who knows, we could improve on it together... Hi – nice idea.

Maybe you could email me and I’ll send over the pitch – who knows, we could improve on it together…

For 5k all we could hope to do was prototype the idea. This could never have been a production ready thing on that budget. Who checks the checkers? It would be a nice problem to have. Wikipedia manages this in two ways: 1. through the community the edit; 2. through 'editors' that look to the changes and moderate particularly sensitive topics. Again, all this was essentially to thought through in creating the prototype. Thanks for that Tom.

But... "Greasemonkey script or Firefox plugin" That's why you didn't win. Hard to see how anyone other than the owners of large sites could execute it properly - and they'd either not want to do it, or want to Do It Themselves for good reasons (CMS integration) or bad (they're the BBC). Someone, however, will eventually Find A Way. Do something with Journalisted.com ? Plus there's the question who'd check to see if the sources suggested are valid? Who checks the checkers. Tis a great idea.
