If I go to
google.com, I do
not expect the wikipedia.
If I go to
wiki.org I do not expect the wikipedia.
If I go to
twiki.org I do not expect the wikipedia.
If I go to
emacswiki.org I do not expect the wikipedia.
If I go to
pbwiki.com I do not expect the wikipedia.
If I go to
wiki.x.org I do not expect the wikipedia.
If I go to
wikia.com I do not expect the wikipedia.
Wiki != wikipedia. (NOT(!) equal to (=) wikipedia, for those who
don't
know this code syntax)
I have no idea why andre thinks he knows "what to actually expect"
from yet another wiki idea... Looks like after viewing the 708 million
hits on google for 'wiki', he has concluded that 1,500 wikis out of
708,000,000 hits determine the future of wikipedia.
What are you talking about?
Why are you twisting my and other people's
words? What the fuck is going on here?
