Maybe I don't see the value in federation purely for federation's sake, since things like Wikipedia still accept edits from all users, aren't charging for usage (yet), etc.
But, I'd love to make sure that Wikipedia sticks around for a while, so while I'm a monthly donor, I'd also love to hear ideas for distributing it to prevent a single point of failure. To my feeble understanding, this sounds like a perfect use for Blockchain, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Also, first Lemmy comment, yay!
Wikipedia is a great place for general knowledge and I don't wanna change that. What I'm looking for is a way to create wiki for a very specific topic, which could be attached to a lemmy community about that topic.
For example having a lemmy community about a certain programming language with a wiki containing documentation about that programming language. This isn't something you'd put into Wikipedia.
In my move over to lemmy I got nostalgic for how some older things were done, what you might be talking about are FAQs for specific topics like we had in the Usenet days. If this interests you, I have a new community started for collecting and creating those kinds of things. Not much there yet but I’ll grow it over time and would love for others to contribute.
