       Have Wikipedia and Mozilla passed a point of inevitable decline? #EvanPoll #poll #wikipedia #mozilla

       @evan I'm really worried about wiki, but there's still a chance of recovery; it would also be significantly easier to fork wiki compared to forking Firefox (from a development aspect at least... legal questions in licensing not so much)

       @astraleureka @evan What do you mean when you say "fork wiki", and how would it be in any way easier than forking a web browser? Do you mean something like Grokipedia (which I certainly do not recommend)?

       @funcrunch @evan Like I said, froma development perspective. Actually forking the contributor base would be a lot harder, although if there was a sufficiently bad enough incident I am sure many contributors would willingly join an alternative project. whether that'd be sufficient for critical mass is hard to say however

       @evan @funcrunch yep, the tech and the content is the easy part - it's pulling along the userbase that would be the really hard part. forks only tend to survive when there's sufficient momentum in community following imo

       @astraleureka @funcrunch I think there's a strong opportunity for national mirrors that synch dynamically with the Wikimedia Foundation ones. Canadian, European, Asian, and so on.For us in Canada, we'd probably only mirror English, French, Mandarin, Punjabi, Arabic, Spanish and a few other languages practiced in Canada. Plus the dozen or so indigenous language versions.
