[Wikipedia-l] Re: [Wiktionary-l] Article on LISA

[Gerard Meijssen]

Mark,
It will not be "my" Ultimate Wiktionary, at best it is an idea that I do 
actively represent and promote. You are representing yourself and you do 
it adequately. You do not provide arguments to your POV and as such it 
is unremarkable.

As to our community structure, it will evolve. Ultimate Wiktionary is 
part of that evolution. You can not seriously expect that in a project 
that doubles in size every four to six months our community will not be 
affected. UW will not be as I expect, I see opportunities  and I try to 
realise them. Many of the expectations are dependant on what the UW 
community will be. It will not be like the Wikipedia communities, it 
will not be like the Wiktionary communities, it will be distinctly 
different but it will be Open and Free.

Thanks,
    GerardM
