There was a lot of thinking done before wikipedia started.
(lookup
GNUpedia on google).
No, you got it wrong - what they came up with was completely
unworkable Nupedia.
Wikipedia started as a quick hack.
Don't want to get into an argument.
Ever heard of bootstrapping?
Anyways, if someone wants to ge start their own project somewhere,
there's freshmeat and soursceforge waiting with arms wide open. They
don't have to use wikimedia resources.
I also want to point out that Nupedia and GNUpedia (different, trust
me, I was there) did not rake up the users needed to make a go at it
_because_ of their "logged-in users"/"moderation" systems.
Anyways, going home now. Catch ya'll later.
Peace and Wikilove.
