Which have shown time and again that forks/fractures/split offs/new versions of Wikipedia don't work. They may find usage in a small niche, but they'll never be a huge deal. OTOH, the WMF saying "Hey parents/teachers/etc, we've got a version with all the nudity removed so you can show your kids/students/etc" would be massively popular. -Chad _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
