There's a new wiki in town: ConflictWiki. The purpose is to create a repository for both hard and soft power folks that's more community specific with terminology, categories, and entries than what Wikipedia can offer. The goal is to provide an open source collection of information, data, and links aimed at the cointerinsurgency / irregular warfare, public diplomacy, smart power, private military, and terrorism communities. These groups are intricately linked together and require greater or at least different details on these topics than can be found in one place today.
As it's a community tool, create entries related to Smart Power aimed at the Smart Power community (pretty much anyone interested in relations beyond the border). The easiest way to start is by going to the wiki, searching for a term and then creating a page if what you're looking for does not exist.

Good stuff. This (much like a number of other wikis, I guess) is a project that literally has no limit. While there exists a near eternity of terms to add from the hard power/DoD/intel world, there is also a lot of work to do in the area of peace studies: the world of conflict provention. There, too, exists a never ending list of terms waiting to be defined.
This could be the ideal project for an undergrad peace and conflict studies class. We should do some digging around to see who might be interested.
