I'm not in a position to actually allocate resources to this or to decide whether it's justified. I'm asking these questions mostly for my own curiosity, and in case someone seeks my opinion on it in the future. When you launched Internet-Encyclopedia, I was very positive about its utility. Brion and I gave it all the support it needed. The "green link" feature in particular required Wikinfo to be whitelisted in the server configuration so that it didn't get blocked for its high request rate. I reviewed Proteus's fork of MediaWiki to see if there were any changes that we could reincorporate. So it's not like I'm staunchly anti-fork. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
