I'm aware of their differences, but neither can be justified in terms of the reasons I work on this project. I'm just not interested in supporting linguistic research. I'm happy to leave it to other people as long as they don't waste my time.
Oh also I would like to add that I'd be very happy to help anybody wanting help setting up a new Wikipedia, beyond the most technical aspect I can handle it very well, and I think I have a fair grasp of that too. Of course dev tasks I couldn't do, but beyond that...
We can talk about that offlist. Suffice to say that there are certain dev tasks you *would* have to do.
