I've been thinking about it and reading and researching about it and
talking incessantly on IRC about it and writing on the lists about it.

This sets out a concise action plan for a paper Wikipedia 1.0, letting
the wiki do the work. It sets out milestones and what is needed for
them.
The main prerequisite is a rating system, the consensus for which,
over the past year, seems to have approached: rate article versions on
four or five parameters, with either a yes/no, a scale of 0-4 or a
scale of 0-10.
The key points:
* Let the wiki do the work. Harness dilettantism.
* Every action must benefit the live web version.
Please be merciless.
(btw: should this be discussed on wikien-l or wikipedia-l? I've sent
this to both places.)
