If you do not have Korean fonts it will not display properly.
and if you go to edit, you get the following warning: "Please notice that all contributions to Wikipedia are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Interesting site. I hope they get more contributors, though--I'm seeing only three in the last three days. Also they're using Phase II software.

It looks like this project actually is doing something with the software and the content, as opposed to taking a database dump and slapping ads on it.
I'd like to ask godisgreen.com to remove all the "Wikipedia" references in the code, which makes it look as if it is an official Korean Wikipedia. Also, they should mention somewhere that the material is covered by the GFDL and is originally from our project. Comments?
Since I'm in South Korea, I have lots of friends who can help me with this. ;-)

Maybe they'd like to be an "official Korean Wikipedia." I didn't see any easy way to get in touch with them, but this computer doesn't read Korean.
Fred
Is there an existing Korean wikipedia? If not, should we perhaps invite them to move their project to Wikipedia?

There is a UseModWiki at http://ko.wikipedia.com/, but it only has the homepage, and the characters aren't displaying properly for me.
The domain name is "godisgreen". Envangelical Christianity is quite widespread over here; "oak" at godisgreen (he seems to be the only, but very enthusiastic contributor to the project) may not be interested in a NPOV encyclopedia.
It's quite late here in Korean Standard Time, but I'll have one of my friends look over the site and tell me what it's about. Then we can talk about issuing invitations.
