Originally this thread was on two mailing lists. I copied my first
response to the Wikitech list because of Tim's involvement in the
subject. There is no point to my continuing to cross-post to both the
Wiktionary and Wikitech lists.

Ray,
There are issues. And as I have mentioned this is a system being developped. Nothing is
carved into stone yet. You state that it is my "pet project" and indeed I among
others try to nurture it to become better. As to your criticism, I do acknowledge that
several issues have to be resolved. This is consistent with something that is under
construction.
It would however be foolish not to respond to questions of why things need _many_
messages. That is exactly why we have mailinglists; to inform about what is what and why
and how things are evolving. Again, en:wiktionary is not the only one. The issues that can
be resolved should be resolved. But it is not a zero sum situation; the benefits must be
weighed against drawbacks. At this moment people can cooperate and look at what this way
of working produces. I am aware of issues and I am working towords resolutions.
Only stating that this system is not finished/ready is not helpfull as it is not a
finished product yet.
