Hi,
I am wondering what the purpose of a wiki
dictionary is. A dictionary normally gives
the "standard" definition of a word, based on a great
deal of research, the pronunciation, using that
dictionaries own guide, an etymology in some
dictionaries, and examples of usage, in some
dictionaries.
Are we in a position to determine "standard" usage
and, if so, on what basis?
There are numerous online dictionaries with good
reputations. What can we do to improve on this?
Is this a place to "dump" entries that are
definitional and no more?
As Ever,
Ruth Ifcher

We could make
www.wiktionary.com -- a wiki-based
dictionary. I probably
wouldn't want to work much on it myself, but other people might.
