[Foundation-l] Wikiquote: to be, or not to be

There is a discussion on Meta to disband Wikiquote, or at least
consider the problems it faces and how to move forward.

So far it is mostly people who have doubts about its utility, so
broader participation is desirable.  I appreciate that this is not
going to be a pleasant discussion for regular contributors to
Wikiquote, but I see it as a worthwhile discussion, even if it only to
re-affirm the community support for having a quote project now that
the encyclopedia and library project are rapidly encroaching on its
territory.
