Talk:Homesteading the Noosphere

Does this essay really deserve a Wikipedia article? I mean, there are limits. This isn't a rhetorical question. Who actually thinks it's that important? --Larry Sanger

Personally speaking, I consider Eric Raymond a blowhard.

Having said that, I wanted to note that this topic is important enough to someone that she/he made an entry about the topic. It might be a stub entry, but it still is an entry, & it is readable, & thus a vote that this topic should be included in the wikipedia. But because it remains a stub entry (I haven't looked at the entries that link to this which also an important determinant), therefore this may be a single, isolated vote. And so perhaps the text in this article should be rolled into one of the article this entry links to -- Open Source, ESR, et cetera.

Do we a criteria for pinching back these buds that have failed to thrive? llywrch 04:57 Nov 10, 2002 (UTC)

Why should it be separate from the article on the author? Nothing pinched back, just put where it belongs.Ortolan88

Sounds very reasonable. If discussion of "Homesteading" later comes to take up a ridiculous percentage of the page on Raymond, someone could once again move it to a separate article. Until then, there's no problem consolidating two quite short articles. I hope nobody thinks the Raymond page itself should be removed, though. --Ryguasu 06:10 Nov 10, 2002 (UTC)
