P2P Wikipedia gets closer

Looks like p2p tech is finally mature enough to handle the functionality of a large SQL-intensive app like Wikipedia.

Scalaris is fully p2p and they used the project of a Wikipedia clone as their proof of concept.

"To prove our concept, we implemented a simple Wikipedia clone on Scalaris which performs several thousand transactions per second on just a few servers."

Their aim is to use it in a world-wide cluster of servers, but it shouldn't be too much of a big step to make the server aspect available for clients to run.
