[Licom-l] Outreach

The bible wiki always makes me doubletake.  I mean if any original
text were in the public domain it is this...

Thanks for adding to the lis - I've just been encouraging others to
use it since setting it up.  I held off myself after realizing how
many thousands of GFDL wikis there are out there.  I'll see if
about.us can help with regexp searching and classification.  One
search alone turns up perhaps 2,000 English-language wikis:

Erik - I like the idea of a separate post-discussion FAQ about the
implementation, listing explicitly what sorts of licenses are now and
will in future be compatible one or both ways with Wikipedia (perhaps
just linking to that section of the Outreach page) in lieu of any
short misinterpretable statements about dual licenses.
