Comments appreciated, preferably via the bug-gnupedia mailing list, but I can also be contacted directly at ImranG?@btinternet.com. Or list below: I added Imran's article above. I'm uncertain about the classification approach ("mainstream" seems hard to define, to me). I would advocate simply advertising a list of preferred classification tags, and let the author decide for herself where they'd like to be classified (if at all). Look at www.indymedia.org for an example of a system where they must balance the need to be open to all, yet filter out blather. Their approach is, rather than vote on each item, to use a traditional editor, but keep the process open (anyone can look behind the scenes to see what was not accepted.) Also, as a *great* example of how indexes can be constructed dynamically and collaboratively, look at the front page of THIS site. :-) The Nupedia folks laid out their idea of how to hierarchically index the material here, but anyone coming to this page can generate their own unique index. E.g., I could say I want my encyclopedia to have this set of topics be my index: [[Alaska -- Altruism -- Physical science -- Transport --Bryce |
