We have WikiProjects to create such an environment, and they have the
added bonus of keeping the content usable within Wikipedia (so that,
e.g., the creators of a community fork aren't so damn pissed off with
their treatment here they pick an incompatible license as a
"fuck-you").

What is there that a community fork achieves that a WikiProject does
not, in your view?
