WikiProject United States Public Policy is an open group of editors who want to improve coverage of U.S. public policy. It's also the on-wiki home of Wikimedia's Public Policy Initiative, a 17-month effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of U.S. public policy.
During the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters, volunteers will be helping public policy professors and their students to write and improve public policy articles. We've seen a lot of successful classroom assignments from teachers who are dedicated Wikipedians; now we want to find ways to train and guide non-Wikipedian students and teachers who want to help.
