Are there any projects to build a decentralized Wikipedia? Perhaps using ipfs or similar technology. I did some brief searching but couldn't find anything. It would be a great step forward to ensuring we have a permanent indestructible knowledgebase anyone can access.



Wikipedia at least does offer full content torrents now & again so the internet can back up their work or have local mirrors, which would make it survive catastrophic failure of Wikipedia itself.

Isn't "decentralized Wikipedia" just the WWW?
