While I agree on principle, it can be more than
difficult to merge sister
projects at this point of time. Wiktionary, wikibook, and wikisource and so

to Wikipedia. Cross-project colaboration must be encouraged, yes, but
placing all of them in one wiki won't make things better in principle.
However, small not cared projects should be joined. Those without a visible
community after some talking with the only existing editor(many wikisources
and wiktionaries) could be merged as to foster the develop of those
projects.
Yep, I wasn't suggesting merging Wiktionary and Wikisource into
Wikipedia. But we don't need new wikis for cross-project collaboration
or outreach: we have Meta, so use it!

Please don't print this e-mail out unless you want a hard copy of
it. If you do, go ahead. I won't stop you. Nor will I waste your
ink/toner with 300+ lines of completely pointless and legally
unenforceable cargo cult blather about corporate confidentiality.
