You kind of get an idea of the complexity that builds up, after the hoops I jumped through to get the collapsible box template working, so I definitely think that we should have a very clear goal before proceeding any further with this.
Frankly I still don't really understand why we need to import anything, at all. There are other options that don't create problems like templates, forks or obsolete data. We could simply have a shortlist of the articles, for example. We could make a list on our wiki, make some sort of category on Wikipedia, if that's permissible, or base it on an existing category. The Flagged Revisions system could be a tremendous help in future. We should also see how Wikipedia 1.0 is doing, and what their processes are. We don't really need to start from scratch. 2009/1/23 John Vandenberg <[email protected]>: > 2009/1/23 private musings <[email protected]>: >> I hope that a small feasibility test might be considered part of the >> organising of such a project - ... > > Feasibility of what?
