Maybe but I don't see much serious content or diversity thereof in their wiki.
Some of these portals are there to make $$ off advertising while appearing to
offer serious mainstream content but just offer links or search engines to 
find same.
I think we are way ahead of them in most respects but they do offer material 
we are short on or lacking.
Maybe just interwiki linking and rss feeds in appropriate places.

Just my thoughts. I will review their site more thoroughly.
