Well, as said, for Wikipedia wiki worked very well.
That doesn't mean
it works as well for other projects. A wiki means several things at
once, and it is one of them (the wiki philosophy of free editing and
control afterward instead of in advance) that made Wikipedia work
where Nupedia did not. Wiktionary would I think work better in an
environment with the same philosophy but a different technology (more
database-like rather than marked up text). Wikiquote and Commons might
well profit from a similar switch. For Wikisource the whole 'free
editing' concept itself does not seem as suitable, or at least, not as
necessary.
IMHO, wikiway could be useful for Wikisource, to produce free translation. Even if an
artwork is free from rights (For example : ''Hamlet'' from Shakespeare),
it does not mean a free french (or arab, spanish or bambara) translation of this artwork
exists. But for the original work, wiki is not only unnecessary but even damaging.
