I didn't think he had much of a shot, and I have given up with writing things for people pro bono unless I get a soapbox out of it, but kudos to Kurt on Opencycle, it seems like some people are editing on a regular basis.
Wikipedia started small, keep at it man, it's alot better to do something than complain all the time. |

I'd probably be willing to say it publicly if I could remember having it! I remember this one time in 1990, I was walking down the Champs Elysees in Paris, and there it was - the Arc de Triomphe! And I couldn't help thinking, that would make a really cool swingset. (You know, for the kids!) But that was the last real idea I had... After that I went into the Virgin Megastore and pretty much forgot all about it, until just now. |

Thanks, everyone.
We've died down a bit in the past month, though--seems some of the people who had come over lost interest. |

Kurt In order for any competing encyclopedia to Wikipedia to happen you need a radically different model to Wikipedia - and lots of committed contributors who get something back from contributing. Refactoring Wikipedia's model will produce either a) a dead wiki or b) Wikipedia complete with flaws. My 2c This post has been edited by JohnA: Mon 12th February 2007, 9:06am |

The thing is, Wikipedia's basic model is fundamentally correct--there's no way to improve on that. It's their particular implementation of that model that is causing the problems.
