I would like to propose a new wikiproject, called wikistandards, in which the community at-large contributes to the creation of international standards (a wiki version of ANSI and ISO).
The first standard I would like to begin work on is a Project Management standard. The impetus for this comes from my frustration over the Project Management Institute's standard www.pmi.org
It is also an IEEE standard:
http://webstore.ansi.org/ansidocstore/product.asp?sku=IEEE+Std+1490-2003
And there is also the ISO standard:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10006
PRINCE2
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRINCE2
There are other lesser known examples of closed committee works or this nature.

The PMI standard suffers from 'design by committee' and is, to say the least, stultifying. 
Lets see how the wiki community does at designing standards.

I look forward to comments.
I am willing to start the first project off but need some guidance and advice on how to proceed.

Regards
Al
