Yes but you're conflating two points, which is surprising because in a 
previous email you kept them separate. Whether it can be accomplished 
elsewhere is one thing, and I've responded to this. Whether it is 
compatible with Wikimedia's "ideals", as referred to on [[New project 
proposals]], is another.

Wikimedia's goal is the spread and promotion of knowledge. 
Wikibuilder's goal is the spread and promotion of knowledge of a large 
section of human understanding (relating to our very survival on this 
planet). Wikibuilder fits the ideals of Wikimedia, there really is no 
denying this.
