Yes but you're conflating two points, which is surprising because in a
previous email you kept them separate. Whether it can be accomplished
elsewhere is one thing, and I've responded to this. Whether it is
compatible with Wikimedia's "ideals", as referred to on [[New project
proposals]], is another.
Wikimedia's goal is the spread and promotion of knowledge.
Wikibuilder's goal is the spread and promotion of knowledge of a large
section of human understanding (relating to our very survival on this
planet). Wikibuilder fits the ideals of Wikimedia, there really is no
denying this.
