This is plain wrong and your accusation is stupid. Donation or
not, there is no doubt that Socialtext is notable enough. The
current article on Socialtext is surprisingly short, though. The
mentioning in the article of their donation is not something I
would have included there. Would it be appropriate, from kwiki's
viewpoint, to write about kwiki as a section in the article on
Socialtext?
Well, there are LOT of stories about buying wikipedia. I do not want
to accuse wikipedia, specially I really use it, and I think it is a
great project.
But the truth is that if you look at Socialtext entry there is NOTHING
notable about it. It just refers a company (that's not notable), their
authors, and nothing more. Kwiki in the other hand had (at least) an
interview in a Oreilly forum.
Anyway, if I was accusing wikipedia I would not mail kwiki mailing
list but rather wikipedia ones.
