Ahem - Erik was talking about extending the template
system he is working on
for use in /Wikibooks/ in order to create wiki
books. I agree that such a
mechanism /should not/ be allowed in Wikipedia since
having books within
Wikipedia is counter to the non-linear hyperlinked
nature of the project.
I dont think its a question of sequence -- its a
question of relationships. A "template project" just
means essentially adding tendons to our beefy muscle
system that eventually will allow some connection to
bones -- these bones will need a backbone of course --
this will still -- despite any calls for absolute
primitivity -- need to be an XML schema. Regardless
of all my non-techie comments, it looks like the
tinkerers are well on the way to getting us to our
goal of Wiki Nirvana.
