CC0 seems like a good way to discourage people from uploading anything they feel precious about, without prejudicing the final decision. Anyone that objects to CC0ing their work can just use Lorem ipsum.
I really can't see why changing to CC0 (from CC-BY-SA, as it is now) would make any appreciable difference to whether people are likely to try and contribute.
We'd more likely influence that by prominent warning banners somewhere on the UI.
Guaranteeing a reset before going beta also makes it easier to experiment. For example, creating and deleting pages to try out the moderation process.
We could decide to guarantee a reset without also forcing CC0. -- 👱🏻 Jonathan Dowland ✎ jmtd@debian.org 🔗 https://jmtd.net
