I was very involved in the fair use project until a few months ago when I realised that there was no hope and "fair use" will destroy wikipedia. I am now mostly contributing to commons and writing a few articles. I am still interested (when I get time) in writing tools to make it easier to fork a free version of wikipedia without fair use images.
Every other article I write quotes a copyrighted text (=fair use). You might have a hard time yanking that out :)
It's remarkable that many of these discussions about fair use too often tend to reduce the scope of the discussion to fair use images.
