PS: and another article about forking/federating

This is an interesting idea to play with.
However, their criticism of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Content_forking is based on a
misunderstanding.
That article forbids within-English Wikipedia forks (e.g. two separate
histories of Europe, one written from the Russian perspective, one
written from the German perspective).
Forking content to another site is fully allowed by the license, and
better support for that (and merging it back later) would be an
interesting experiment.
