Re: [Bug-gnupedia] Content Format

Hey, Mike, et. al.,
There seems to be a naysayers mentality going on here (and, no, Mike I'm not 
talking about you).  How do you know that GNE won't turn out to be a 
wonderful free learning resource even if we don't allow people to submit 
Word formatted files?  There is this automatic assumption that it won't 
work.  Why?  As I've said before if RMS had decided ahead of time that the 
FSF wouldn't work then he wouldn't have even bothered trying.  But it did 
work. :-)
