If Wikipedia is the reincarnation of the encyclopedia, the Wikia family
of sites represents the rest of the library—not just the printed pages,
but all the side conversations and muffled chatter. At least this is
how Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales sees it. Wikia Green
is one of the latest additions to this growing family of special
interest, wiki-based subworlds. Wales wants readers to be able to dive
into Wikia Green to satisfy burning curiosities on green science and
technology, DIY, sustainable living, and policy, all while drawing on a
knowledge base fashioned after Wikipedia’s model of free licensing and
community review.
