Wired,com's Wired Science Blog, published a quick overview of a new service on Wikipedia called WikiTrust. Content will be color coded based on a formula related to the reliability of the writer, and the number of reviews it has passed by editors. Don't know how it will play out in the context of ADA, but definitely will be worth a look when it goes live as a tool to evaluated information.
Although WikiTrust has been available as an add-on to the MediaWiki since November 2008, This current movement is to incorporate it into the live Wikipedia. Didn't see a date, but definitely something to watch for.
