Well, there are LOT of stories about buying wikipedia. I do not want
to accuse wikipedia, specially I really use it, and I think it is a
great project.
But the truth is that if you look at Socialtext entry there is NOTHING
notable about it. It just refers a company (that's not notable), their
authors, and nothing more. Kwiki in the other hand had (at least) an
interview in a Oreilly forum.
Anyway, if I was accusing wikipedia I would not mail kwiki mailing
list but rather wikipedia ones.
Cheers
