Great! Well, good things take their time... :-)

I also noticed the Nupedia stuff. Does that mean that
Nupedia is also now part

bring some life to that project. I still think Nupedia (perhaps under the
name GNUpedia) should be refactored to be a repository of expert-approved
Wikipedia articles (along the lines of Larry's Sifter project). Thus that
project would be a stable distribution of Wikipedia content but all editing
would still take place at Wikipedia.
I'd like "gnupedia" for that as well. "Sifter" doesn't really
sound too
interesting somehow. (And, as one of the more active former Nupedia
authors, I don't object including Nupedia in the wikimedia family:-)
Oh, if someone creates "textbook.wikipedia.org", could we also have a
test wiki for the gunpedia project set up? It might be confusing to
implement the rather restrictive sifter setup on
test.wikipedia.org.
