The document discusses the goals and challenges of PDWiki, a project to create a community-editable wiki with information on the public domain status of creative works. It aims to address legal challenges around collaboration agreements and social challenges of building a supporting community. Technical challenges include developing wiki technology, a community portal, and storing over 20 million records. The document outlines what is needed for success, including open library technology, legal expertise, technical support from Wikimedia, and an initial grant. It provides examples of jurisdictions and organizations that could contribute or use the system. It concludes with a discussion of hacking on the project today and an overview of the roadmap to launch elements before August.
