Yes, I think we can change that setting so that we keep all revisions.
Disk space will ultimately be an issue, I think. Also, I suppose
generating the 'Other Revisions' page will become unruly once there
are thousands of revisions, so some staggered display of those (100 at
a time, say) might be called for.

This is really exciting news.
Would you like to make have a link to my article that proposed the
free encyclopedia? It is in www.gnu.org/encyclopedia.
Got a copy of the email (or whatever it is) for us to see?

Hello,
Apparently, there's a conference going on in Berlin sometime soon and I
was asked to see if there's someone in Germany who could represent Nupedia
and, hopefully, also Wikipedia. Expenses are paid.
If you're interested, please let me know. It could be fun!
