I see what you mean, yes. Alternatively, the delete command could be changed to leave the history. After all, that's what seems to be the most upsetting (to me, anyway) about the delete command -- all the history is obliterated, making it difficult for community oversight to function properly.
I think the idea was that, in this project, the biggest asset of Bomis is the "Wikipedia reputation". Not the content, but the reputation. I would say that there are two important assets for Bomis here:
1 - wikipedia reputation 2 - wikipedia community
That's what Bomis must preserve. Others can use the same content to build a similar project, but they would not have the same reputation and the same community.
Right! That makes perfect sense.
As always, it seems funny to me to discuss "Bomis" in the abstract, since it's just me and Tim and the gang. :-)
