Development resumed on 23 January 2014. The development process has thus far spawned many abandoned development branches that resulted in complete code rewritings, as various approaches were found to be ill-conceived or unworkable. On 29 January 2014, Larson noted, "This Inclupedia programming is like wandering through a really complicated maze with just a notepad with which to keep track of all the dead ends, and having to keep retracing my steps and starting over. It definitely takes a long time to get to that satisfying point at which I can run it and see it work. The part I dread the most is still ahead, though — debugging any database inconsistencies that might arise due to glitchy code. Hopefully I can catch all of those before production deployment, but who knows." | Development resumed on 23 January 2014.

She favors a direct approach to Inclupedia development that for the most part avoids potentially distracting side projects; when it was suggested to her that [[ChildWiki]] be an Inclupedia prototype that would mirror and supplement [[BoyWiki]] the way Inclupedia will mirror and supplement Wikipedia, she noted, "I also think it would be good to start small, though I wouldn't want to put off the 'real' work for very long... If you have experience with wikis I would also question what the purpose of starting small would be? Why not just jump right into Inclupedia?" | ||
