Also, I do wish we could do David's #1. I think the real question is how much of the original wikiway does wikipedia want to follow....
This is a question to which I don't know the answer. If we can get an answer (and I doubt we will), then it would determine the whole future of Wikipedia.
The question is fundementally "what is more important, wiki-, or -pedia?"
I think I believe that the encyclopedia should trump all else. But I am by no means sure of this. It may in fact be in the encyclopedia's very interest that a pure wiki philosophy is kept. I don't know. I would, however, be interested to hear what others think.
