There’s an interesting discussion on Slashdot over this question of
“Integrating Wikipedia With a Local Intranet Wiki”. Something that some of us have come across.
Some of the proposed solutions are:
a. Complete dump of Wikipedia and add your own stuff to it
b. Build a simple proxy server that rewrites wikipedia content to include a header of your local content
c. IFRAME? Intelligent proxy/page modification?
d. Browser extension somewhere that lets users add their own comments to any arbitrary web page
e. Create an internal wiki, and wherever relevent you link to the wikipedia article
f. Its probably not going to work because “You are trying to force a technical solution on a social problem.”
Someone also posted an interesting conceptual paper:

Pretty interesting ideas. What are the pros and cons of the above suggestions? Any ideas on top of those?
