I wrote this last night, and thought I'd save it for today.

I didnt have the strength to read your whole email, Anthere... (its late) but I share some of your sentiments-- in that the "process of elimination" way of doing things-- the Darwinistic voting process as it were-- is ultimately entirely anti-thetical to the notion of wiki--which is primarily about collaboration.
There *could have been more emphasis on collaboration, there *could have been less of an emphasis on deadline, etc, etc, etc. But monday-morning quarterback is easy (American football reference=after-the-fact etc. ) And theser are things to think about and learn from. Before this whole production .. it hadnt occured to me how unwiki a "voting process" can be, if the wiki collaboration isnt considered. But now its more clear that the collaborative element needs to be enhanced in the future, and that the design of such endeavors and even the wiki itself will continue to change to better fit the collaborative ethnic.
Congratulations to Erik for nearly accomplishing the impossible task of pleasing everyone. :-) ~S~
