Re: Patch to install?

Yes, I think we can change that setting so that we keep all revisions. Disk space will ultimately be an issue, I think. Also, I suppose generating the 'Other Revisions' page will become unruly once there are thousands of revisions, so some staggered display of those (100 at a time, say) might be called for. lsanger(a)nupedia.com wrote: > >From my Wikipedia page: > > Larry - why is it that in some cases older revisions are not listed in the > "Other Revisions" view of a page?

Germans willing to speak on an academic panel Nupedia and/or Wikipedia?
by lsanger＠nupedia.com 21 Sep '01

Hello, Apparently, there's a conference going on in Berlin sometime soon and I was asked to see if there's someone in Germany who could represent Nupedia and, hopefully, also Wikipedia. Expenses are paid. If you're interested, please let me know. It could be fun! Larry
