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.
