[PD] pdpedia

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

All good ideas, go ahead and add them!  I think with pdpedia, we  
don't really need to discuss things too much or ask permission.  If  
you have an idea, just do it, then we can start building it up.  As  
it becomes well formed, then we can think about how to handle things  
from then.

It would be great if you made a reference article, for example.
