[Foundation-l] Wikipubs Project Proposal.

[Nathan Carter]

I am not trying to shoot the idea down, it does have some merit, but if 
you are going to put the proposal to the community and foundation (I am 
not 100% sure of the project approval process) then that is the first 
question you are going to be asked.
Cheers,
Nathan.
