[WikiEN-l] So as not to destroy the Wikipedia in order to save it:

[David Gerard]

Move en.wikipedia.org to en-dev.wikipedia.org and put only the
contents of the Wikipedia 0.5 DVD at en.wikipedia.org.

Betcha we'll suddenly have amazingly efficient procedures for getting
good content across from dev to stable.

This also avoids the issue of appearing to declare the Wikipedia
project a failure by effectively shutting it down and/or deleting
large swathes of it. Since, after all, the impetus for this is nothing
but public relations.
