If Edupedia follows the model that Sifter was planning on,
the main database would remain in one place, at Wikipedia.
Any separate Edupedia database would only have to specify
which Wikipedia pages (and maybe which versions)
are included in the various categories that it supports.
To some extent, a <www.edupedia.org> domain
will necessitate a separate web interface,
but of course it could be very similar to Wikipedia's.
The bulk of the data, in any case, would be together.
