I was thinking about a printed wikipedia.
Enciclopedias usually are printed in alphabetical
order. As there is no absolute order in wikipedia, we
have named the articles with the best possible
article, but not the one that would be correctly files
if ordered. For example, the biographies are listed
with the proper name first, while
in a printed work we would look for it by last name...
detailed articles about history, economy, etc. of
countries would be all printed together, and far away
from the country itself, and so on.
Would it be possible to add a tag for each article
that says where should it be placed in an
alphabetically ordered list? For example, in Bill
Clinton the tag would
be something like <alpha>Clinton, Bill</alpha> or
something like that.
What do you think?
