Speaking of which, I think it would be great if we started thinking about mechanisms for distributing the hosting of Wikipedia. Does anyone have any thoughts on how a (to some degre) distributed solution could work?
I think the hosting of the server should be left to Jimbo to decide. But what I'd really like to see is something like groove.net, where I can keep an offline copy on my own computer, edit articles locally, and sync the changes with the server the next time I'm online. I'm not on a modem connection, but I'm moving with my laptop and wireless LAN between home, workplaces and cafes. This of course would be a major software change. Some two-way synchronization protocol (like unison) would be needed.
