GetWiki<A HREF="http://getwiki.net/" title="getwiki.net">.net</a getwiki.net> is a highly modified, and controversial, version of the MediaWiki 1.1.0 software running Wikipedia and other sites, GetWiki introduces XML import of individual articles from any other Wiki-site offering XML export. GetWiki also uses XHTML and CSS document and accessibility standards.
GetWiki was forked from MediaWiki in January, 2004 by M.R.M. Parrott, partially under a Creative Commons license for the images and some of the code. The intention was to simply add the XML import feature to MediaWiki for use on the then Internet-Encyclopedia, but the resulting application became a fork through numerous customizations for the new Wikinfo. The current stable release of Getwiki is 1.0.
GetWiki lets anyone be an interactive GFDL corpus access provider, specializing only those pages in the GFDL corpus they have a need to. It is the closest thing available to Project Xanadu, the original Ted Nelson view of how the world wide web should evolve.
GetWiki is licensed under CC-by-nc-sa and so is Share Alike and Open Content but not Free Software nor Open Source.
GetWiki is much better
