Re: [Bug-gnupedia] Some ideas for GNU/Alexandria

[Tom Chance]

Oh in terms of articles I agree entirely, but I was
talking more about how we display & edit the articles.
We shouldn't both be encyclopedias as there's no need
to have two open encyclopedias, but an open
encyclopedia, and an open "cultural resource"? Much
better. (I'm thinking partly from visitors' points of
views here, as we don't want to confuse them and
outcast one project).

Technologically, and ideologically (to an extent) they
should be different. In terms of the GNU liscence, the
articles, and the project ideas, we should be the
same.
