What a great idea. When will you have your implementation of "distributed mediawiki" completed?
It's already completed. I just need you to transfer over the domain names.
whuh??? Project page?
Your post actually started me thinking on this. A Freenet (for encryption and to avoid a [[:en:trusted client]] problem) or BitTorrent (for convenient distribution with a program lots of people have) method of distributing Wikipedia. A peer-to-peer network with WMF as the only body supplying content files. The downsides that spring to mind are (a) doesn't work through any old web browser (this is a big one) (b) trusted client problem (how to ensure rogue clients don't redistribute corrupted content in our name).
