Hello, Pieter.
Agree, we should think (brainstorm) about distributed servers, but this is a very difficult topic (for me at
least).
Yeah, I think so too. But while the wikipedia grows as encyclopedia, that its system remains same is a problem surely.
I've got more weird ideas: I'll make the source-code of my
pure-C-
wikisoftware available via its' WikiWebInterface ITSELF!
This way,
I'll never loose my sources! (the recursive trick).
I don't think this is weird, but nothing but wonderful! Such a idea has already been proposed in wiki community. You may want to check this out. http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl? WikiAsSourceControlRepository
I believe it would work. At first, Wikipedia seems not to work, but actually it does, we know that. I am always dreaming of why don't we use wiki for everything?
