Efforts like the Wikipedia Selection for Schools are important to help too (and feed into 0.7 and 1.0). Remember, that's a real actual encyclopedia DVD being used in actual schools and hugely popular with teachers, based on all our hard work over the years.
*nod* Still working my way around the Wikipedia 1.0 stuff. There's so much of it, and not that well organised yet. But my point stands - we should really have a way of focusing efforts on the important articles first. Instead of "random article" we should have a weighted average thing that is more likely to send you to a high priority article.
Or something.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/user:suggestbot ... See if the bot's author put weight ON articles in a selection process. The bot has tasks other than fact checking, which is really the most demanding task, so I think notbot might like some variety. _______ Ever notice the best taglines are always someone elses?
