I agree with you wrt _that form_ of the proposal. There could still be a 
WiKi or something like that to work _parallely_ to the current OEIS 
system, with possibly a per-sequence link to relevant entries for people 
to add personal cmts, and maybe some sort of rating system so that 
_really_ interesting considerations may be eventually brought to the 
attention of the maintainers.


Just my 2 Eurocents,

Why would bishops attack one another?  Oh--over homosexuality perhaps?
