I was thinking of content and community forks specifically. MediaWiki is ridiculously easy to set up and install. Setting up a copy to fully function like Wikipedia is somewhat more difficult. Forking the MediaWiki codebase is not hard, but probably not a good idea. (The two cases I can think of are Citizendium and Wikia, and both now work with and on the mainline and put their local stuff in an extension.) - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
