One more question....
Have you considered providing your entries as web services, such that other web sites can "consume" the web services, and utilize the content via XML within their own sites?
Imagine, for example, a Mormon History site, that wants to keep people in their site, but would rather use the information from your site (giving proper credit of course).
Thanks for he info!

Also,
I am not currently a member of this list, so will require a direct
reply.
Basically, I'm curious to know if Wikipedia currently supports, or has
plans to support video files in the future.
It's possible to upload short video files to the wiki and link to them, but we don't have support for inline (embedded) video, and we've got a strict upload size limit.
For some discussion on possibilities, see: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_policy

All our data is available for download (warning: large files): http://download.wikimedia.org/
Individual pages' source text can be exported via the Special:Export function. See http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_export
We don't currently have a 'clean' way of exporting XHTML or other formatted output without the surrounding user interface.
