If we could get a unified search going across the Wikipedia, Wiktionary, wiki textbook site and any other wiki projects, that will put our efforts way ahead of anything else that I have seen out there on the web. Search a dictionary, encyclopedia and textbooks all at the same time ? That would be awesome ! What ? And its free ? That should help push adoption of use of the sites .. And some users later become contributers.

Well, currently, Wiktionary isn't doing so well. It has only 3447 entries, far too few for a real refrence dictionary. And the textbook project hasn't even started. -LDan

Wiktionary is coming along just fine!!!! The number of articles is not so important at this stage. On the other hand I have no significant interest in the textbook project. I've got no objection to a unified search function, but it should work no matter how big or small the separate projects are. Ec
