[Foundation-l] re: Project Wikineur

[Sj]

Gavin,

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful idea.  
This sounds like it could one day turn into a very large-scale
project, one more suited to its own wiki, with many local
wikiprojects, idiosyncratic policies about what kind of information
can and can't be shared, how one can be neutral while addressing legal
and political monetary issues that readers will take very much to
heart, and more.

One nice thing about this project is that its audience of active
editors would be fairly distinct from the audience of active
encyclopedia editors.ll

I think the right way to go about creating new project like this is to
find people who would contribute initial content, write up a few pages
on meta: addressing specific policy issues that would have to be
worked out for the project, and then write a handful of example
articles (in your userspace, perhaps, since we haven't agreed on
whether meta or wikibooks are suitable for such articles).
