I am for it, since I know how to use Wiki. I think that the software of 
Wiki was very good for that purpose, only the management was wrong.

It is not good for textop, but ok for a pilot project.

I have only read: Bertrand Russell, Problems of Philosophy from the list.

In general I have read works of Rudolf Carnap, logical positivists, 
Nietzsche (Zarathustra is fine for me). I can give a complete list if there 
is any chance that they could be included.

I would not prefer it since I did not read it. But if tha is the decision, I 
may read and contribute. That is slower of course.

Done. http://www.textop.org/wiki/index.php?title=User:Math

Yes. My id on skype is math_0 anybody can contact me for chat. I have
