'''Wikinfo.org''' is a wiki fork of the whole English Wikipedia! Presumably this is the biggest deployment of the [[:Category:GetWiki|GetWiki engine]], an engine which has features specifically designed for facillitating such a fork. The main difference (and perhaps the reason for the fork) is that Wikinfo supposedly tries portray a 'sympathetic point of view' rather than Wikipedias '[[NPOV|neutral point of view]]'.  In reality, the majority of pages are unmodified copies of Wikipedia content.

As you can see, there is work to do, but the wiki has been transfered to the latest version of MediaWiki, Mediawiki-1.9.3.
There are 36,546 pages that are probably legitimate content pages, about 10 changes a day (6jun07).


In June 2008 there are articles in English, German, French, Croatian, Italian, Portuguese and Latin.  The Wiki is very much more active.

Description

"Original research which addresses significant problems is especially appreciated. Dictionary definitions, links to websites, quotations, source texts, and other types of information not acceptable on Wikipedia are welcome. Wikinfo is intended to complement and augment Wikipedia, and, ultimately, surpass it as an information resource, but users are encouraged to continue participation in that community and help make it all that it can be".
