I think we had this conversation almost a year ago ;-) http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2011-September/114562.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2011-September/114569.html http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2011-September/115530.html are my comments from the last round. In short: the almost complete absence of anyone doing *anything* clever in terms of reusing and repurposing our content strongly suggests that there are practical barriers to doing so in general, rather than the flaws with any specific model of what it is they want to do. (Alternatively, it might suggest there's no demand at all for any meaningfully variant derivatives of Wikipedia, which is a demoralising thought..) -- - Andrew Gray andrew.g...@dunelm.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
