[Wikipedia-l] Re: Forming an action plan for 1.0

Please remember that we '''do not need developer effort''' to move towards 
Wikipedia 1.0.  

I think that improving the quality of major articles (a big part of moving 
towards 1.0) is the most important task for our editing community.   
Yet I also agree with the majority of those poll responders
that vandalism screening and features for organised patrol are the 
most-needed development items (and these /do/ have some 
relevance to validation and quality control).
