I think (could be wrong) that part of the goal of the core team is to create a mind that can largely navigate huge amounts of data for itself, something that has the basis to learn autonomously on the Web. It may take a phase of a lot of input from many hands to get there but then again it may not.
*nods* That is certainly an idea, one that I myself spent quite a while studying, and not with a view to disproving it. Alas it doesn't work; the contents of the Web are not information unless you already have a great deal of knowledge beforehand (the old problem of learning Chinese with only a Chinese-Chinese dictionary); and that previously required knowledge is precisely the content that will require an industry, not just a team, to create. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=fabd7936
