I've pointed out they'll need more differentiation than another slightly-tweaked set of rules. As such, I declare it: time for the "differentiation from Wikipedia" thread again! What could a general encyclopedia project do to differentiate itself from Wikipedia and gain a niche? * Put data in in such a way that it can be easily manipulated and redisplayed. (Semantic MediaWiki or similar.) * University affiliation such that an "expert" policy doesn't result in the cranks flooding in waving pieces of paper. The result might end up just a Wikipedia feeder in effect, but it may provide a good environment for the writers that might actually produce something. What else? Pick a problem with Wikipedia and a solution to it that hasn't already failed. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
