I agree. facebook may be even easier.  Editing wiki-pages requires some knowledge of the rules etc....however, I could probably arrange an online workshop with that person I mentioned. He is teaching this and he is looking for support!

My take on this, I'd much rather attend a goal-driven, more entrepreneurial meeting than a purely social one. In other words, the purpose could be related to discussing and developing ideas within that (local) group and post them later to the homepage. 

Are you referring to my comment concerning A-I/Arab sources funding European Academia? Yes! For one, Manfred Gerstenfeld should know something about that. Secondly, there has been quite a bit of uproar in the UK over these issue in the past two years. The Economist, among others, should have a piece or two on that. I can imagine that this has been followed up by other sources.... I can check this once it becomes more relevant.

dodgy co-operations and funding from A-I sources. (For a great example, see the University of Edinburgh)

Among others, number of anti-Israeli & anti-Semitic incidents as well as events, a look at academics and the nature of their publications on this issue, etc....ultimately, you can't go entirely quantitative. You'll need qualitative data as this is really of value to the issue at hand. Obviously, this bears the danger of too much subjectivity in the eyes of any critic - I don't see anything wrong with it though, if you think about it....
