GetWiki .net is an improved MediaWiki that lets anyone be an interactive GFDL corpus access provider, specializing only those pages in the GFDL corpus they have a need to. It is the closest thing available to Project Xanadu, the original Ted Nelson view of how the world wide web should evolve.

Wikipedia sysop power structure and Wikimedia forbids anyone to copy the key features into MediaWiki since this would reduce their power to enforce "rules" they make up. Since Wikipedia violates GFDL it is common to see GFDL corpus access providers start up as mirrors without interactive features. This helps Wikimedia retain monopolistic control on editorial control of the latest/live version of most pages in the GFDL corpus. This control further retards the corpus itself and is entirely contrary to the principles of Open Content and Share Alike
