It gets slightly more complicated if you make
your version of the site
editable; then you have to make sure that the changed source content is
regularly updated and readily available.
From what I can tell, they aren't trying to fork the content project,
they just like to use it as a showcase for their technology, which is
great. So, likely they will want to just point the editing links
right back to us?

That is a good suggestion (pointing the edit links back to the main
site). It also leads us to the question of mirroring.
- Are there currently any Wikipedia mirror sites in existence? I see no
mention of any on the main Wikipedia site.
- If we were to host a mirror site what would the branding requirements
be? I.e. should it be an identical mirror? Or branded as a separate site
(as discussed in other posts)
- How would synchronisation be handled? Is there an established process
for this?
- How would the mirror be referenced? Just a link from the main site?
- Could anyone estimate the traffic levels that we would be required to
handle? (We may need to upgrade our hosting hardware)
I think that covers off the main issues. Any feedback and suggestions are
welcome.
