Forking is hard nasty work. I'd much rather the Wikimedia projects got up
to speed. However there are a lot of countervailing factors at work. On
the one hand we exclude interesting and significant material, on the
other we include childish and trivial material whose only purpose seems
to be to offend. In wiki speak "notability" and "no censorship".
