Re: [Bug-gnupedia] Peace in the world (was: Content Format)

Very true. I think the merger as it is happening is a
good thing. I do think that we should differ in these
two ways though:

*) Editorial policy (as we are differing already)
*) Technologies.

The latter on very small points, ensuring our
technologies are compatible so that we can swap the
the same (mutally decided) best system later on, and
can share articles etc. now.


Btw... as Nupedia have a tighter control, shall we
take all their articles for now and put them up, or
would we consider them to "controlled" and "edited"
for our resource, as by _our_ definitions they are
overly "biased" (though that word is perhaps a bit too
strong).
