We will not be differing on either of those things, which is one
of the reasons that any meaningful distinction between the two
should disappear.

Nupedia is pursuing a new policy of making available a much wider
range of articles.  As soon as we (meaning WE, meaning YOU, meaning
the ENTIRE COMMUNITY, there is no 'us' and 'them') have available
some systems for having a 'gnupedia-style' open editorial policy,
this will be adopted (by 'us', meaning 'you').

In terms of technologies, there will be no difference between the
two, either.  Whatever gets developed (by everyone) gets used.

One project, one goal.  Let's leave the factionalism to people who
have a reason for it.
