For all of its ubiquity, Wikipedia is a single fragile organization in an increasingly unstable political landscape.

I hope that efforts are being made to make sure that its content is not only being archived in many places, but also that the know-how to reboot Wikipedia's hosting from its dumps (software, infrastructure deployment and all) is being actively preserved by people independent of the organization.
