[WikiEN-l] Paper Wikipedia 1.0: a modest rant^W proposal

[David Gerard]

I've been thinking about it and reading and researching about it and
talking incessantly on IRC about it and writing on the lists about it.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:David_Gerard/1.0

This sets out a concise action plan for a paper Wikipedia 1.0, letting
the wiki do the work. It sets out milestones and what is needed for
them.

The main prerequisite is a rating system, the consensus for which,
over the past year, seems to have approached: rate article versions on
four or five parameters, with either a yes/no, a scale of 0-4 or a
scale of 0-10.

The key points:
* Let the wiki do the work. Harness dilettantism.
* Every action must benefit the live web version.

Please be merciless.


(btw: should this be discussed on wikien-l or wikipedia-l? I've sent
this to both places.)
