[edit] A distributed Wikipedia

Having funddrives every 6 months or so imposes a factual (substantial) fee on devoted wikipedians. Does this have to be so? Technically it could be difficult right now to implement a distributed version of wikipedia, which could be hosted by Universities, govermental sites etc. for free. However, this seems to me the only way to garuantee stability, robustness and cost effectiveness of the whole wiki-efforts. This is, where IMO the prime focus of software developement should lie.

[edit] Levels of detail

Wikipedia articles vary largly in size and mature article can be huge and cumbersome to read. I propose a new markup (or similar means) that indicates a level of detail for a paragraph that could ultimately allow for making articles uniform in their level of detail at your discretion.
