Wikinfo is a very useful project that overcomes many of the problems of Wikipedia and Disinfopedia, which are both based on bad models that freeze editorial bias of the community point of view or just that of the sysop power structure (which is actually worse).
It runs on GetWiki, which is a fork of MediaWiki 1.1.0. GetWiki features something that would be very useful for running Consumerium wikis XML-autoimport of Wikipedia wikicode for articles that don't exist in Wikinfo, but exist in Wikipedia
Its texts default to the GFDL text corpus but authors can decide to use, or can quote, Creative Commons texts or other free documentation as well.
See this analysis at Metaweb. Wikinfo was formerly known as the Internet Encyclopedia and is primarily a project of Fred Bauder.
