Yes, that tool looks similar to the idea I wrote. Other approaches may be
possible too.

Man, Gerard is thinking about new methods to fork
(in an easy way) single
articles, sets of articles or complete wikipedias, and people reply about
setting up servers/mediawiki/importing_databases and other geeky weekend
parties. That is why there is no successful forks. Forking Wikipedia is
_hard_.
People need a button to create a branch of an article or sets of
articles,
and be allowed to re-write and work in the way
they want. Of course, the
resulting articles can't be saved/showed close to the Wikipedia articles,
but in a new plataform. It would be an interesting experiment.
Something like this.. ?
