Exactly what I thought. Better integration and support for wikiprojects (have to say, I sort of prefer "task groups" as a name...), better recognition on the wiki of top contributors to various articles -- those are things we could really learn from.
Historically wikiprojects getting hold of too much power or thinking they have has tended to cause problems.
And if we could approach the proprietor, and encourage a more compatible licensing scheme, our Chinese language projects could really benefit (and their project could benefit from Wikimedia content).
I suspect they already take it.
Did this thing just appear out of nowhere? Suddenly a collaborative online reference site larger than the English Wikipedia?
Been around for a while. I was expecting it to overtake en this year but not this soon. Would be interesting to know how they beat out Baidu Baike.
