Good PoliSci Wikis?

[catchermiscount]

Hey all:

I'm in the process of compiling information for the 2009 application season. I've learned the hard way that faculty attrition can derail an otherwise successful early graduate career, so I'm looking for good sites/wikis with good information about departmental issues (attrition, research, good colloquia, job talks, etc.). I hesitate to call these "gossip sites," because they're about far more than that, but you get the idea. Any suggestions? It's difficult to pin just one or two down.

And let me say my howdies to those getting ready for applying! Good luck to all of us!

I'm attaching the link to the IR Rumor Mill (I'm in IR, but there are links on the site to the American, Comparative, and Political Theory Rumor Mills). Having just finished visiting and selecting a program, it was a great resource for me to begin to understand the job market (both with an eye towards being there 5 years from now, and to understand continuity issues of current profs) and the kinds of comments that are made within the profession...

Hope you might enjoy...

Thanks. I, too, am IR, and despite being in grad school already, I don't have a lot of access to the specific outlets. Thanks again!

Wow. I have to admit, CoachRJC, I did not expect there would be anything out there that was related to what you were looking for, but this is just another classic case of underestimating the Internet's depth and breadth. Thanks for the response, Opal32496!
