::We care very deeply about preserving the right to fork and the right to freely redistribute Wikipedia content. However our hardware resources are limited. We couldn't possibly serve someone trying to request hundreds of pages per second, although we'd be happy for them to obtain our content in a more orderly fashion. Similarly, we would prefer it if mirrors and forks would cache content locally rather than fetching it from Wikipedia on every client request. It is not against the GFDL to require that they do so. -- [[User:Tim Starling|Tim Starling]] 13:28, 24 Jun 2004 (EEST) | ::We care very deeply about preserving the right to fork and the right to freely redistribute Wikipedia content.

:::This is exactly why we need to focus our efforts on creating a working [[Export-import]] functionality so that we can serve reasonably fresh content from many wikis without driving people to other wikis whenever they could stay within [[Publish Wiki]]. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 14:03, 24 Jun 2004 (EEST) | |||
