Like most descriptions of projects that give no details as to actual
implementation, so you fill in the blanks with your own wildest
dreams, it sounds awesome.  :)

Re: [WikiEN-l] Larry Sanger's new project

2013-03-13 Thread Fred Bauder


 The problem he apparently trying to solve is that sites like Wikipedia
 and YouTube are kind of noisy. As problem statements go, it lacks a
 certain specificity...

I know what he means though. The snarling nonsense we sometimes encounter
on mailing lists or during editing disputes could fairly be characterized
as noise. The question is whether this project will be any better.

I don't think that is what he means. I think he's talking from the
perspective of content users, not content generators.

For the editor, or for the reader, one does ask.
