'Nuff Said
Jon Awbrey
PS. Okay, I'm kidding about the 'Nuff Said.
My point is that this project is doomed from
the start if it doesn't learn from the failures
of many similar projects in the past, like DMOZ,
Nupedia, and Wikipedia, plus several dozen more
whose very names are forgettable. But I observe
from the very structure of this list that 'Zenda
is likely to remain the Prisoner of hysterical-
historical blindsightedness, so I will give it
a few game tries, and then we'll see ...
By way of a few games tries, I will start a
list of Breakpoints (Breaking Points) that
killed these earlier projects, along with
a Prolegomenon of Criteria and Desiderata
toward any future Sum of Knowledge.
Breakpoint 1 is given above. Those who have
learned from the past already know what will
happen if it is not fixed, and fixed quickly.
JA
