This Wiki is a good idea, but it won't be very usable unless it's better organized. Therre needs to be a hierarchical arrangement of problems (e.g., U.S. > Illinois > Federal census), a standardized way of naming problems (e.g., Federal census 1850, State census 1865), and a standard way of attaching categories to postings. Anyone doing research in Illinois, for example, should be able to find all the problems for Illinois data by clicking on the category "Illinois." As it now stands, there's just a long list of posts, which although searchable, are difficult to navigate. As posts are added, this problem will only become magnified.
