By the way, does en.wiki have / has en.wiki got its own mailing list? Why
aren't most of these threads there? I think ASL belongs here (being ASL a
language on its own), but Wikipedia English English doesn't yet.

None of these discussions are expected to lead anywhere in the
near future. Please wake me up when you have some ASL websites
that I can look at, or when you have reached consensus on
color/colour spelling.

I admit to having written 2 of the messages, and this is my 3rd.
In 1945 Vannevar Bush wrote an article about the Memex, but he
never built one. In 1960 Ted Nelson started to design the Xanadu
system, but have you seen it in operation? The aspect that makes
Wikipedia stand out is that it exists. We will continue to be
more successful than those old losers if we keep smalltalk to a
minimum and get back to work on ideas that we can implement.
