Absolutely. This is what I've been proposing for some time.
Indeed. It's called "Wikipedia 1.0", and /that/ can have filtering and
whathaveyou as much as you want, with a "child-friendly" default (whatever
that is). My, and I think perhaps quite a few others', main problem with the
use of server-side filtering is that it evidently won't be 100% effective in
a dynamic environment, and it only takes one slip-up - just one - to cause a
PR problem of which it seems to be primarily developed with a mind to
attempting to avoid. I would absolutely /love/ to participate in the
Wikipedia 1.0 project, including very much content-categorisation.
So how about it, everybody? ;-)
