But is there automatic XML-import and hopefully diff facilities for importing from internet-encyclopedia or wikipedia or any number and choice of GetWiki or MediaWiki running wikis?
- This is a good reason to support a m: = "multiple", and n: = "neutral" and f: = "factional" name space. We select the best of each behind the scenes, rather than hardwiring assumptions about that into the article itself. Why not? We already point to w: articles which are ever-changing... so why not ever-changing redirects?
- We should copy and rewrite the articles in the Meta-Wikipedia space, as these are not in general relevant to Consumerium or even to mediawiki. Rewrites could help get some concepts clearer, and link them to the issues here.
We certainly need to get GetWiki to run a test-wiki to see how it is different and maybe use Wikinfo or use Wikipedia as a user preference.
