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

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?
