I thought about it. Different concept though, and with too many bottlenecks. "Near identical" may have been overstated. Newer ideas will have to avoid those same bottlenecks, and that's why I wrote up a draft for a new idea. In certain ways we have to be open and openly helpful about not just collaborative writing, but collaborative source-finding. To some that seems to mean swinging from the Britannica ideal toward the Google/PirateBay direction. I little bit perhaps, but not all the way. And the "encyclopedia" (WP:ENC) characterization is way overstated anyway. Wikipedia's philosophy is entirely different from Britannica's -- which doesn't even have articles about 'paid erection maintainers' and 'stand-by penis alternates.' We on the other hand, do. -Stevertigo "Nothing we can't shake... _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
