RE: “SteemCyclopedia”: a Steemit-based Wikipedia :-)
Hello @apsu, nice afternoon! As usual, your observations are accurate and deliver real food for thoughts :-)
Till now I've imagined the SteemCyclopedia to be based on both STEEM/SBD and the Steemit blockchain, but in the case of the latter, it probably would entail a couple changes, in particular the 7 days modification limit to the articles content (like it was kindly suggested by the Witness @evildido).
Steemit is actually a website using Steem blockchain, but then again.. would the articles be edited only by the creator? Would every topic have only one creator, for example if I wrote an article on "Bitcoin", could only I edit the article on Bitcoin? :)
Would there be multiple articles on a single topic, like 25 versions of article on "Bitcoin"?
These are questions needing to be solved
I agree, it has to be solved! Ideally, any Steemian (I'd say any Steemian with a minimum reputation of 40) must be authorized to include her or his changes to the SteemCyclopedia articles.
An aspect I'd propose to stress in our encyclopedia would be the genealogical one: any existing theory, historical narrative, mathematical formula, etc. comes as the result of a pregnancy process that's always a conflictive one (like it's usually said for history: "the victorious only write history"), well I'd suggest we display or closely link any current knowledge (surviving hypothesis) with all its previous and/or rival hypothesis, often burried in nowadays college lectures.
Regarding the technical aspect, have you seen this coming change in Steemit blockchain, apparently similar to sharding?: "AppBase is the first step in creating a multi-chain FABRIC. AppBase enables many components of the Steem blockchain to become modular by creating additional non-consensus blockchains as dedicated plugins".
It seems to open exciting perspectives :-)
