FYI, bokee.com is a one of the more famous "blog" companies in China,
but it also has a reputation for commercializing blogs that has peeved
lots of grassroots bloggers. We should keep that in mind.

I also agree with Wing (who presented at Wikimania about the Chinese
Wikipedia) that the timing of the Wikipedia block and this site going
up seem like an interesting coincidence.
