    As far as I know there are no wiki's out there that provide for dynamic article sharing (so far) I can understand that this is not much of an issue of importance to the MediaWiki since their main focus is to provide software for the Wikipedia encyclopedia, which given it's monolithic structure and it's huge article, editor and reader space is not much interesting in setting up schemes, where other wikies would control the content of some articles and those be only dynamically mirrored to WP. Their huge size makes them uninterested in using smaller specialist wikis to provide specialist coverage since it seems that they already have lots of specialists in every conceivable field of knowledge (and at least triple amount of people that like to consider themselves to also be the specialists).

    The main point regarding the situation described above (there is no http://wikiarticlebroker.org , nor any wiki software that currently supports such an setup) we are not going to have a Publish Wiki we are going to publish as HTML primarily. The manual, redundant workload, having too many wikis to vandalize and to cause incoherence in is something we are simply not going to do. If you develop software for version controlling spanning multiple wikis and dynamic content mirroring then by all means let's have three wikis, otherwise: NO --Juxo 18:36, 27 Aug 2005 (GMT)
