@ Pine: I am looking for someone to lead / coordinate
this effort, thus me
putting up the funding offer. Yes it may require a number of developers. I
do not know where these people hang out or how to convince them to do the
work. The coordinator be required to figure this out.
@Jane: No Corenbot just looked at new pages. This is a proposal to look at
new edits as they come in. They key is looking at "NEW EDITS" as they come
in. Not 10 minutes later. Not 2 days later. This will deal with the false
positives you mention. You need to get them before other sites copy from
Wikipedia. Also Turnitin is updated a little slower than google. We would
use their database before the new content was added.
@Nemo: Turnitin has agreed to give us free access to their API keys. No
money changing hands.
@Rupert: Please see reply to Nemo. With respect to access we would want 10
years worth anyway. One is able to access closed content through google
books and scholar right now. Have you read the "memorandum of
understanding" with Turnitin? There is no link spam allowed. Some companies
are willing to do stuff that does not cost them anything because they like
the idea. Not every for profit is evil to the core. If someone can build an
effective system another way that is even more open than this the money is
still theirs.
