Catching up on my e-mail, I've read a lot of comments and discussion on the various
proposals. Rathe than trying to fit into dying threads, etc. I'm going to toss ib my
six cents worth (3 comments) in this one message.
1. We do need a sifter project and a stable base. As more outside references (google, web
sites, etc.) point to Wikipedia, I'd like the casual reader/browser to find a
worthwhile product.
2. I'd like to see the electronic version kept under the Wikipedia brand. I understand
the desire to see Wiki as Wiki friendly, with open edits, etc., etc. and the desire for a
stable base. However, bear in mind that serarch engines and reviewers look to site hits
and visit totals. I'd prefer something like --
http:/en0100.wikipeda.org/wiki/Article.htm -- rather than to dilute us through multiple
domains.
3. The BP process seems OK, adding some controls to limit access and movement (syssop
status?) to the en0100 (version 1.00) protected pages.
Technically, the en000 page doesn't need to be a database entry, just a reference to
the time stamped page.
Thanks for a lively discussion, I will now resume lurk mode.
Regards, LouI
