::Sorry. That won't create 100 mirrors in 100 languages. Fact is, Wikipedia put itself at the centre of [[GFDL corpus]] and has used all kinds of bullying and technical tricks to stay there.

:::But under [[GFDL]] you have the right to try, so '''try''' or stop complaining that the wrong people are running the most widely known "[[GFDL corpus access provider]]" --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 16:16, 9 Sep 2004 (EEST) | |||

:::What are those in practice? Requiring a link back to [[Wikipedia]] for those [[mirror]]ing/duplicating/[[fork]]ing their [[content]] (ie. content donated to the [[GFDL coprus]] using their [[infrastructural capital|resources]]. I see that requirement to be fully in compliance with the spirit of GFDL since determining who are the five primary contributors for each article is entirely a subjective matter, thus link-back and letting the user view all contributors is the right way to go for the required attribution clause. You must realize that most of the contributors do not reveal their real names thus their identity only exists in the form of being a registered user of Wikipedia. De jure your argumentation is quite right that [[Wikimedia violates GFDL]] but for the sake of sanity why not settle the this is the right way to go in de facto sense even for material in [[Consumerium]]. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 16:16, 9 Sep 2004 (EEST) | |||

::Why bother when code costs only $5/day to Russia or Kazakhstan? These people who you think deserve respect are nowhere near as good as those who spam for code gigs on the net. Coders are disposable. | ::Why bother when code costs only $5/day to Russia or Kazakhstan?

:::So use your own cash if you don't have time and stamina to code yourself and hire some of those to implement the [[features]] we need. Especially automatic aggregation of information requires custom code. Or stop whining and dissing those who donate their time and skills to enabling us to use this wonderful wiki software. --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 16:16, 9 Sep 2004 (EEST) | |||

:::No. I meant that people who have heard of [[Wikipedia]] might use a search engine to find it and you could get an ad of your fork to show. "Join us instead of those corrupt wikipedians." | |||

:::Violence is never a good solution how ever straightforward it may be in comparison to more peaceful approaches to dealing with what ever pisses you off. You being apparently an intelligent troll would understand that the [[PC]] folk and others who are easily frightened would likely see your above comment as an threat to Fox News or it's staff. IANAL but that imho constitutes an illegal threat so '''please remove it and appologise.''' --[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 16:16, 9 Sep 2004 (EEST) | |||
