That's exactly the kind of thing that the Encyclopedia Britannica said about the Wikipedia!

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. 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).
Did this thing just appear out of nowhere? Suddenly a collaborative online reference site larger than the English Wikipedia?
