[Foundation-l] [Wiktionary-l] Adopting OmegaWiki as Wikimedia project

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
OmegaWiki was created to the prevent double work that is inherent in
Wiktionary. When you ask what value it has for "the Wiktionary projects"
then it is not really one question and consequently there is not one answer.
It is however the wrong question, the question is: does it add something to
what we do in the WMF.

Wikimedia stands for open content and everybody can edit. However, the
changes by a vandal are not appreciated and consequently he / she will be
banned. <grin> that is what we do at OmegaWiki as well. As to the Wikimedia
rules, the rules for Wikinews are different from Wikipedia from Commons from
Wiktionary. This is true for OmegaWiki as well. Are the rules compatible,
sure.

Come and experience it. It will certainly provide you with facts in stead of
leave you with questions.

NB It was the intention for WiktionaryZ to be a WMF project. Sadly it was
not to be and now the project is called OmegaWiki. It was not my initiative
to call for the inclusion of OmegaWiki in the WMF, I am however of the
opinion that it is still a good idea.
Thanks,
     GerardM
