Another point recently mentionned... is that some
editors think it is
not the role of the Foundation to distribute content and that
we should
let other organisations do it. This will also solve the issue
of legal
responsability. On the other hand, if other organisations are
the legal
editors, how can we somehow get a benefit over the content
distributed ?
Or should we get a benefit ?
Glad you asked. Ten days ago I started working with a Unificationist, non-profit
organization that is interested in incorporating much of Wikipedia's content into its
own encyclopedia. (They are planning to commission an additional 5,000 or so articles, as
well as donating thousands of World & I articles - all of this extra content will be
GFDL!)
I have been (tentatively) offered the role of IT Director for this project.
Anyway, the IIFWP (or IRFWP) already has a legal department - and budget - big enough to
handle the issue of legal responsibility - for their own selected subset of Wikipedia
articles they will publish.
Surely whatever they LEARN while doing this could be passed on to us. They are a very nice
bunch of people to work with.
