Wikis can be stabilised. Or stable FAQs can be created by taking a snapshot of a Wiki and performing some editorial work. Also wikis are supposed to save the editing history - it should be possible to revert vandalism. I'm quite a fan of wikis, even though I know they're not a panacea. They can be spammed, but then so can email lists, and so far the everything-list has been remarkably robust to being infected with garbage. Hopefully, the same will be true of the wiki. One thing I do suggest is that we link offsite to generally accepted terms. I have done this with links to "Born rule", "Quantum Mechanics" and so on to Wikipedia. Plato.stanford might be a better source for philosophical terms. Anyway, I'm prepared to upload relevant definitions of concepts based on my book as a starting point. I expect corrections :) Cheers -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Mathematics UNSW SYDNEY 2052 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Australia http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
