What innovative (re)uses of Wikipedia or Wikimedia content are out there?
I have looked through the Mirrors and forks page, but nothing jumps out at me: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks
Also, what potential innovated uses of content might there be?
I'm seeking permission to license images I have of NHL trophies under GFDL or compatible license. I'd like to give them examples or explanation of positive benefits of such licensing and reuse of content and the philosophy behind it.
One of my favourite reuses of Wikipedia content that is live is dbpedia (http://dbpedia.org/docs/). The project extracts structured, semantic information from Wikipedia (so far 91 million triples (subject-predicate-object expressions)). I'm sure the semantic web has many more such things in store for Wikipedia.
