I hope this mail won't get more nerve.
Generally, give higher exposure to the open source side of
Wikipedia.
Most people who come to the Wikipedia project simply don't
do so from a
software development perspective, so we need to highlight
more that this
side exists as well.
I agree. If you remember, isn't it good idea to rename wikipedia software *or* set up a independent wiki for it?
We need to make the Wikipedia-code Wikipedia-independent.
That is exactly what I meant before (but not all though). If wikipedia software becomes more independent, it makes more sense to seprate development process from meta-wikipedia. But it is not necessary to prohibit discussion in meta- wikipedia about the development. I am imagining of UseMod.
(I bet no one advocates all of my ideas are wrong because I am ignorant, which I admit)
The fact that with OpenFacts there will soon be another
Wikipedia
specifically for open source documentation should also help
in
attracting new developers.
What are OpenFacts?
