OEIS is perhaps the best model. I'm not sure if Neil Sloane looks at every sequence that goes in but he approved my entries. It's now in a trust and will definitely continue once he stops contributing.
- jessriedel 2y agoAre there any specific lessons you think would apply to a collaborative encyclopedias of scientific topics? It seems to me that OEIS can only scale because it enjoys some of the same advantages as Wikipedia: the individual articles are highly compartmentalized (non-leaky abstractions), and there is very little need for adjudication of technical disputes. These would not apply to Stack Project or other comprehensive technical encyclopedias.
