What sorts of implications do you see, Andrew? I see this as evolving into a shape
much like featured article or featured picture, where the same sorts of
discussions go on as in VfD, just at a less emotional level. The first (and maybe
the only) step is the change to a less fractitious name, and I'd also suggest
using the same terms as in feature article; that is to say, "support" or
"oppose". The fact is, we =do= bite the newbies, though I suspect that's a
systemic problem rather than Wiki's own: Everything2 is quite explicit in pointing
out that life for a level 1 noder is supposed to suck (go figure), and many
higher-level noders have no qualms about dumping all over newbies. I'm glad to see
the push at Wiki is back on track in the opposite direction.
