I like the import function; if you already have lists of words ready

You can do this with any bot on a wiki - like now on any wiktionary: the
pywikipediabot a bot written in python does this.

Cool, I'm going to follow this up on the Afrikaans list. Maybe import
an entire dictionary or something.

Yes, you can certainly do this at Wiktionary. My team is creating our community glossary there, as a technical component of the existing vi.wiktionary. It's very easy to do, and there are a number of formats supported for import.

Whatever is uploaded now to the database follows the following conditions:

This is from the faq:
"Wikiwords is intended as a free and open resource for anyone,
anywhere. We plan to post licensing terms before the end of the beta period, and will appreciate any input that will assist us either in formulating those terms, or in selecting an existing copyright arrangement. In the meantime, all contributors should assume that by posting, they assign all rights to use the posted content to ProZ.com and Wikiwords."

Bah! :P

Yes, this is what worried me. "Wikiwords is intended as a free and open resource for anyone, anywhere ... but" . I'd much rather see our efforts go into something like Wiktionary, which is most definitely free information, like Wikipedia: it's part of that group of resources. We know where we stand with Wiktionary.

This Proz.com program reminds me of the Microsoft Community Glossary program. They encouraged a lot of people to put their own time and effort into creating a large, multilingual glossary for them, which M $ have since used constantly in commercial undertakings. Free labour is good business.
