We should be more concerned with [[edits, votes and bets]] and how [[answer recommendation]] might move things from [[Research Wiki]] to [[Publish Wiki]]. Importing a lot of sysop-approved biased nonsense from [[Wikipedia]] should be low on our list of priorities. Why not just use [[GetWiki]] and get it from [[Wikinfo]] instead? | We should be more concerned with [[edits, votes and bets]] and how [[answer recommendation]] might move things from [[Research Wiki]] to [[Publish Wiki]].

GetWiki discourages the construction of a proper fork by allowing users to fetch articles from Wikipedia on demand, whenever they access a page which doesn't exist. This means that a large proportion of the content hosted by a GetWiki site is actually controlled by Wikipedians. What's more, Wikimedia would be within its rights to cease service to any GetWiki site, leaving them out in the cold with a useless leech script. Why not just [http://download.wikimedia.org/ download the database] and end your dependence on Wikimedia? -- [[User:Tim Starling|Tim Starling]] 11:50, 23 Jun 2004 (EEST) | |||
