Chinese-language film wiki launches
From Danwei:
Chinese-language film wiki launches: CineWiki (中文电影维基), an ambitious project that aims to be a Chinese-language encyclopedia of film, formally launched on 28 December, 2006.
According to the project's about page, a group of 20 film enthusiasts from various countries and regions have been developing the site since October. There's not much on the site at present - only 717 articles (or stubs) - but judging from the organizational framework, the project has grand designs. According to its mission statement, the site intends to be useful, participatory, accumulative, structured, and non-commercial, as well as distinct from movie databases such as the IMDB and film forums hosted by major Chinese web portals. CineWiki is independent from Wikipedia, and unlike many wikis, it does not allow editing by unregistered users
