Say, are there examples of people who do this well, contributing back to
Wikipedia or to the general public? The examples I've seen are all a bit
disappointing, but perhaps that's just because the outrageous ones
generate more attention.
answers.com is perhaps our most high-profile reuser, but we have an
agreement with them for a live feed. I'm not offhand aware of a
particularly shining example of a database-dump site, partly because
we tend to outstrip them quite fast (and because enwiki dumps were
iffy for quite a while, meaning most of them are long-stagnant)
There are certainly some decent offline projects using dumps, though,
in one form or another.
