Like Ec I find even the present level of codification annoyingly complicated. Requiring any significant level of codification from general users would just knock out 99%of the population form being contributors, asituation we cannot go towards.
The concept here is to _decrease_ rather than _increase_ the level of complexity for users. One reason the present system is annoyingly complicated is that we are forcing the software to do more than it was designed to do, and failing to automate things for the user that could be automated.
From what little I have learned so far of this idea, including the complete lack of communication with the user community, the idea of introducing a new more technical Ultimate Wiktionary sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Well, I think we can avert disaster now that everyone is talking. I did not personally realize that people weren't fully informed about this -- that's my own fault.
