Well, users of the content are listed at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks (sorted by
compliance level; note also the "in other languages links" if you want
to investigate non-English versions). Users of the software,
meanwhile, are listed at

I can't think of any particularly innovative uses, I'm afraid.
thefreedictionary.com has some funky mouse-over previews of article
introductions, but they're not much more than 'interface sugar'. The
most notable use I've seen is probably
clusty.com, which integrates
the content fairly firmly into its cluster-based search engine, which
is certainly an interesting idea.
