Hi all,
Larry Sanger wrote in WikiPages: W is not a dictionary!
Well, this is true or should be in one way. On the other hand: it would be nice to have one. I would like to support the following:
Dictionary and encyclopedia should be understood as distinct but a dictionary is nice to have one. And this wikithing software is ideal to build up a complete international ever uptodate dictionary. And would be to use much more easier than any of these big books. Just type in, have short explanation and look up for a proper translation. Why cant we set up a project aside wikipedia called wiktionary or alike (what you cannot beat(?) you have to integrate)
mit freundlichen Gruessen Stefan

Please see the list archives for a discussion of this. I forget what our conclusion was, exactly, if any...
