Yeah I've heard that before. Coding features is vastly easier than organising Wikipedians. If someone puts some pretty buttons on Wikipedia saying things like "review this article" and "mark for concise version", then people will start clicking them. Policies will emerge out of the chaos that ensues, and everything will come together. If someone wrote the feature 6 months ago, we'd be ready to print by now.
I think we are in agreement -- except perhaps for your time estimate. I note only that non-developers have work they can do immediately to further this project. I had the sense that many eager people were waiting for the discussion of which interface to implement, before working out what topics to cover, in how much space, starting with a focus on which areas.
