Even though we ourselves might not want a bowdlerized WP, it would be extraordinarily convenient to have some kind of subset quasi-mirror that advertised themselves as "child-safe".
Absolutely. This is what I've been proposing for some time.
Indeed. It's called "Wikipedia 1.0", and /that/ can have filtering and whathaveyou as much as you want, with a "child-friendly" default (whatever that is). My, and I think perhaps quite a few others', main problem with the use of server-side filtering is that it evidently won't be 100% effective in a dynamic environment, and it only takes one slip-up - just one - to cause a PR problem of which it seems to be primarily developed with a mind to attempting to avoid. I would absolutely /love/ to participate in the Wikipedia 1.0 project, including very much content-categorisation.
So how about it, everybody? ;-)
