Right... what is the point of effectively replicating
Nupedia? We are going down very similar technology
avenues as them, and if we had the same editorial
policy, we'd be wasting our time entirely! IF you feel
like that, go and join Nupedia, not Gnupedia! The idea
is to have them both as different approaches to the
same project!

Gnupedia is to have a set format, and no editorial
control (or at least a very simple, very open one
designed only to block spam, highly illegal content,
binary bombs and the like).
