Be careful. The goals of the folk on this mailing list and the goals
of the wikipedia project are probably not aligned.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not

In particular, note the section "Wikipedia is not a publisher of
original thought".

It is certainly possible for people on this list to help improve the
wikipedia's coverage of articles related to time keeping, but the
wikipedia article is not an appropriate place for a group attempting
to hash out a consensus on a mailing list to record all of its thoughts.
