Thanks for this project and this post! It does seem to me that something along these lines could clearly be valuable and (in retrospect) obviously should’ve been done already. I feel the same way about Guesstimate as well, so it seems QURI staff have a good track record here. (Though I guess I should add the disclaimer that I haven’t actively checked what alternatives were/​are available to fill similar roles to the roles Metaforecast and Guesstimate aim to fill.)
I look forward to seeing what Metaforecast evolves into, and/​or what related things it inspires.

The closest alternative I’ve found to Metaforecast would be The Odds API, which aggregates various APIs from betting houses, and is centered on sports.
More distantly and speculatively, I guess that Wikidata or fanfiction.net/​​archiveofourown (which are bigger and better, but just thinking of it conceptually) also delimit metaforecast, the one on the known-to-be-true part of the spectrum, the other on the known-to-be-fictional side.
