The main motivation would be if you're working in an area of Wikipedia where
it's more than a minor hassle to get your improvements to stick.  Of course,
you'd need some sort of assurance that you wouldn't run into the exact same
problems in that new forum.  I believe Citizendium has proven itself to not
be a place where the correct "side" always prevails (the homeopathy article
has proven that), so CZ is out.  Knol is perhaps an alternative, but 1) it
doesn't definitively support GFDL (this may soon not matter); and 2) it's,
for lack of better description, clunky.

You want something where people are encouraged to work together, but once
they've tried and failed they can always fork.  Combine that with Metapedia,
and you might even have something.  Will you let me be the co-founder?
