Wikipedia has a decisive Plone (www.plone.org) feel to it. Yet, I cannot find Plone anywhere on the about pages. Is it a coincidence, or did Wikipedia base some of its logics and or design on Plone?
Thanks,

Aha, I didn't actually think about scanning the source. Silly me.
Maybe the Wikipedia could attribute their layout and design more prominently to Plone?

There's actually little left of the fundamental plone css setup- if you compare the xhtml source of the page you'll see that we sport a real content-first order while plone follows the easier route with ui elements in the source where they appear on the page.
The main similarities are tab formatting (which is also very different css-wise), the boxes in the left column, the header underline, the blue li bullet and some icons.

No. Both Plone and Wikipedia base their design on a common source, namely WikiWiki.
