Sorry, Wikibooks is for *textbooks* and Wikipedia is not a textbook. (We also have a cookbook, wikijunior (kids' books) and how-tos.) Nevertheless, a lot of proposed projects do fit at Wikibooks - on strategywiki I found 2 or 3 just today. Perhaps we're not doing a good enough job of advertising ourselves, or perhaps people are not thinking their ideas through. Whatever the reason, it seems like these proposals that already fit inside a box are not actually being nipped in the bud with "That belongs at X project, go do it there" and instead these people simply wallow in a netherworld between wanting to start a project and the community having no real capacity to evaluate proposals (including letting people know where their project might fit into the wikis we already have). - -Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkqoPfEACgkQst0AR/DaKHswZACgtIcFUKF6jkRvEdIBIe1OpZnu yG4AnROKXaatKTROfqvHUUPomV0+2xWo =6VgS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
