Integrating Wikipedia With a Local Intranet Wiki

An anonymous reader writes "I work for a large company taking a preliminary look at developing an honest-to-goodness wiki. We have tried to launch a company-wide wiki before, but with little success. The technical domains of each part of the company are different, thus each article needs a good deal of background to be useful. Of course, due the proprietary nature of our work we cannot share our articles outside of the intranet. What we would like to do is leverage existing wikis by augmenting our internal wiki with an external wiki. When a user accesses Wikipedia from inside our intranet, they receive the wikipedia content, plus the local domain specific information. For example, links to company-specific wiki pages would be available in Wikipedia pages. Has anyone else tried to do something like this? I know it sounds like a logistical nightmare; are there any thoughts on how to make this successful?"

As a non native speaker I find a dictionary quite convenient in these cases. so I'll do some back and forth translation for you here:

leverage (v.) -> opkrikken -> fuck up
augment -> duurder maken -> make more expensive
internal wiki -> krabbel zonder net -> off-line blurb
external wiki -> krabbel met net -> on-line blurb
existing -> nog bestaand -> not yet deleted

So the English to English translation is: "What we would like to do is fuck up non yet deleted blurbs by making our off-line blurbs more expensive with on-line blurbs".
Now that I can understand.
