Did you know that Wikipedia is now 100 times larger than the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and that it competes favorably with that classic reference in terms of accuracy? At the risk of overstatement, I consider Wikipedia to be one of mankinds greatest achievements. Not just as a wonderfully useful reference, but because it, and also Linux, the computer operating system created by Linus Torvald on which Androids and countless other devices depend, convincingly demonstrate a manageable system for organizing thousands of volunteers to produce extremely complex, yet very robust, products that can be made available to all users free of any charge or commercial profit motive. A new organizational paradigm, if you will, for the 21st century!
