This is currently available to the 16 agencies that make up the U.S. intelligence community, has grown to more than 28,000 pages and 3,600 registered users since its introduction on April 17.

Really?? Sounds too easy to pass rumors on, though. They can’t exactly cite sources!
I don’t like how easily the information can be modified so who’s to say what is good info and what isn’t? thats my hang up.
Hmm, Saur is right, it’s hard to verify such a thing.
However, having such an access can be an amazing thing, by having anyone who’s authorized edit information and also keeping a track of who changes what.
I haven’t been here in a while, so I wanted to congratulate you for the new design. Nice work.
Yeah..i guess they would track ppl who contribute.
3,600 is too many people to all be able to edit the same classified information.
