Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Citizendium vs. Wikipedia

I suspect there's little market demand for a "child safe" fork of
Wikipedia, or we'd have seen one. So far those pushing for such
filtering try to enact it on Wikipedia itself, presumably because it's
unsustainable elsewhere.

(That said, the Schools Wikipedia has endeavoured to keep itself nice
and filtered for classroom use, and teachers *love* it. Really love
it. As in, write in for lots of DVD copies and are encouraged to run
off DVD copies themselves. It's about the most successful repackaging
of Wikipedia so far.)>>>

Never having heard of this, I googled it.

Why does Google add that funny bit at the front of this long URL, and 
that really odd bit at the end?  What does it all mean Virginia?  
Anyone?
