Wither Wikipedia?
,----[ Quote ]
| Putting aside all criticism, I do have this
| bit of advice. The Wikimedia Foundation
| ought to post a few snapshot copies of
| Wikipedia from the last few years, warts and
| all. If Wikipediaâs quality declines, at
| least the world will still have some ânot
| too badâ Wikipedia articles to view. I have
| always maintained that Wikipedia is
| tremendously useful, and it would be a shame
| if there were not some âcanonicalâ versions
| of the resource that we could consult.

âOpenness is not the enemy of quality,â Wikipedia founder says
,----[ Quote ]
| What is unique about Wikipedia is that it
| is an almost entire construct of the
| internet and is edited publicly. Built
| entirely on open-source software, it was
| spawned out of a project Wales called
| Nupedia, and eventually grew as
| volunteers, writers and editors
| contributed articles. By 2007 it had
| passed the 2-million article mark â
| eclipsing the 1,407 Yongle Encylopaedia,
| which held the record for 600 years.
|
| Today, the site receives between 25,000
| and 60,000 page requests per second and
| gets an estimated 330 million unique
| visitors per month.
