How's demopedia doing? (ideas on how to organize quotes?)

I was onboard when they started demopedia, and signed up for access, but there were some glitches and my browser exploded when trying to edit articles, so I gave up on it... seems it worked for most other people though.

Anyway, I was thinking of giving it another try, and wondering whether signup is open to more than the original batch yet.

What I'm thinking of starting (or helping out with, if something is already started) is a "lie dump" which would be sort of a chart, with the names of particular persons like Bush, Rove, etc on one side, and certain issues like "Plame affair", "outsourcing", "immigration", etc on the other.

Inside each cell would be quotes each person had offered on that subject, and the date/source. Filling this chart would be the first part of a project to collect and build a library of video clips that could be strung together, Daily Show style, to show repugs changing their stories and lying their asses off (or if you use it in the other direction, lots of repugs parroting RNC talking points mindlessly.) This could be a good start to some fun campaign zingers for 2006.

The inspiration for the idea was from John Conyer's blog request that we research deeply into who said what WRT DSM. And then another DUer also mentioned a similar idea in this thread here, so I figured, heck, maybe it would catch on...
