[Foundation-l] New project proposal - Wikibuilder

Wed Jan 19 04:25:45 UTC 2005

I would like to see the process for creating new factual/specialist
Wikimedia projects include a stage at whic hthe new project is a
Wikibook, which serves as a demonstration of what project content will
include (and a rough topic mesh for the project), proof of interest in
the project, and a source of inspiration to new project contributors.

After this initial overview book could come full-fledged project development.
