For discussion:
- Is the prize concept beneficial? Discuss here.
- The collaborative concepts of stackoverflow.com would seem to have many features for such an environment. The concept seems to combine aspects of wiki's, blogs, fora and digg. It's about programming, not milliongenerations, but the concept might translate to other areas. Stackoverflow attracted programmers, so the concept may also be attractive to those with strong conceptual, philosophical and analytical thinking that would seem useful for significant contributions to milliongenerations. There certainly are differences, stackoverflow questions are more confined, specific and can be answered in a short time and it may still be more forum than wiki like. It is somewhat complicated. But it seems a great place to learn from and start, should try to get the advice of these people. Thanks for the tip, Harm!
- Think it would be great if we could deliver a newspaper feeling. Larger and smaller articles on the same page, not complete, but the essence. Not only vertical lists but horizontal columns and tabs for the sections. Even as one article is selected, smaller references to related articles accompany it on the side. Always same format but varying content.
- Should be able reference parts of external links e.g., a few sentences out of a certain blog entry.
- Have a rosetta mode, where people can improve on a (machine) translation of an entry while viewing the original or a translation accepted as good next to it.
