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.
