Chinese-language film wiki launchesPosted by Joel Martinsen, January 14, 2007 6:44 PM
![]() 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. From the membership readme:
New authors are apparently vetted by registered users; email them for details.
