"Inspired by the groundbreaking Wikipedia, as well as Typophile's growing TypoWiki," UnderConsideration has now launched The Design Encyclopedia.
UC says it "strives to document, define, track and distill the world through its design implications. Pretty much anything – from movies to presidents to can openers to pop(corn) – can be, in one way or another, defined by design. Through the open environment that Wikis provide, we hope that you can help us build this important resource. We have started with some profession-specific entries – ranging from Emigre to Abbott Miller to AIGA – that should help springboard definitions that are outward reaching into the larger contexts of culture, politics, branding, economics, history, sports and more (ie, Mountain Dew, Kleenex or USA Network)."
One thing it doesn't want is for people to copy Wikipedia entries.....
It's still in beta.
