[Foundation-l] An technical idea on spreading and improving Chinese Wikipedia

re/ the earlier comments, remember that we don't have to invent
keyword identification from scratch. There's quite a bit of stuff out
there already - I've seen a tool for writing blog posts, for example,
which automatically adds in "contextual" Wikipedia links to the end of
the text - which reduces the amount of work needed on the obvious
problems of linking irrelevant words etc.

Or, even simpler (for the user), a plugin where the author selects a
word or phrase and the system generates a Wikipedia link for it.
Should be relatively effective for nouns and names, at least...
