I just had a phone conversation with Jim about this.

He asked a lot of technical questions about how
we would actually implement things, particarly how
the communication between front end and server,
how we would add the guild type information to
existing datasets. How we would stop graffiti
and editorial issues.

General feeling is that we need to really do a lot
more thrashing out of the details of it all. Whats
the database schema? Whats the communication format
between server and front end? What precisely do
we want for the front end?

On a related note I see ibiblio now have a WikiInfo
fork of Wikipedia. If we could link with that
it could give us much greater exposure.
