[Wikipedia-l] Do we really need a Sifter project?

We can use Erik's idea for adding neat features to the Brilliant prose page as 
a start. Then that page can act as a queue for articles that Nupedia can 
take-up and then put through a simplified Nupedia polishing process by area 
experts. The Sifter software can be used to make this easy but it is not 
really needed. 

But a stable distribution vetted by area experts (at the very least by people 
with baccalaureate degrees in the subject area) /is/ a very important thing 
for us to have. 

With such a system set-up we can start to work toward 1.0 status.
