I agree
completely except for the name of the "stable" Wikipedia
distribution; that, IMO, should be the slightly different "GNUpedia."
Of course the GNU people esp RMS would have to sign off on our use of
the "GNU" brand. If they do not feel comfortable with that then we can
use Nupedia.
Even if they do (which I somewhat doubt unless we more openly endorse or
participate in the GNU project), this would link us strongly to the GNU
philosophy.
Just to throw something in to the discussion:
See <http://www.gnu.org/encyclopedia/>
Our idea for a free encyclopedia is described in The
Free Universal
Encyclopedia and Learning Resource.
Just as we were starting a project, GNUpedia, to develop a free
encyclopedia, the Nupedia encyclopedia project adopted the GNU Free
Documentation License and thus became a free commercial project. So we
decided to merge GNUpedia project into Nupedia. Now, the Wikipedia
encyclopedia project has adopted the philosophy of Nupedia and taken it
even further. We encourage you to visit and contribute to the site.
Cheers
