[Foundation-l] 9/11wiki content sharing

[Poe, Marshall]

I'd be happy to take and maintain the memoirs. I'm not sure what's to be
done with the personal and company tribute pages, as they aren't really
consistent with the mission of memorywiki.org.

How about just moving the whole wiki there rather than copying it page
by page?

I see no point in keeping in what was supposed to be an archive of
content that had to be removed from the English Wikipedia in an editable
form as a unwanted pseudo-Wikimedia project. It is not well maintained,
as a check of the main page's history will show before I resorted to
protecting it. Considering the difficulty in getting any new project
approved by Wikimedia, including a lot of very worthwhile ideas, I don't
see the point in keeping one controversial, monolingual, biased wiki
that has no community.

I really think this would be an ideal opportunity to find a new home for
it.

Angela.
