I thought somebody did that already... ;)

But seriously now... Why the irony, Walter? There is a saying (or is it 
a quote?) which goes more or less like this: "A given thing cannot be 
done until somebody who doesn't know it cannot be done comes along. And 
that somebody does it." We're writing an on-line encyclopedia. And it 
works, it grows. and... it was impossible. Or at least it was thought to be.

Now... Imagine we're a bunch of people who don't know the first thing 
about anything. ;) World peace? Piece of cake. Wikipedia on Mars? Just 
wait and see. Alpha Centauri by 2050? Well... That might be a problem. 
But not because we can't. We can and we will if we want to, just not by 
any set date. Because we don't (and can't) really keep dates. But if you 
look at things in the long term (and I do mean long) you'll see it'll 
all work out fine in the end. That is how wiki works, right? Eventually 
every page will get better and better and better. Same goes for the real 
world (at least for us optimists).

And we *will* have these different chapters mentioned up and running and 
working together... someday.
