I am new to Wikia AND Wikipedia. I would like to ask and know a few things, if some one can clarify my doubts.
1> What is the difference between Wikipedia and Wikia? Seems both have been started by same person. Is it to provide redundency OR is there a fundamental difference ?
2> Wikia has a category " Engineering " which aims to cover all branches of Engineering, but there seem to be other unrelated Wikia on Civil Engineering / Automation Engineering / Electronics. Duplication of Time and Effort?
3> Does Wikia Engineering intend to be more of the Practising Engineers Forum, to share the practical Experiences / Problems / Solutions as opposed to having Textbook Articles on Engineering topics. Are there other Practising Engineers Forums on the Internet, and can a ink be established with them?
4> Textbook Articles are also required, but at what level of Detail and Depth - Aimed at Under Graduate Engineering Student?
5> Have I just asked questions already asked and answered before?
