Building Wikipedia

An article in the Guardian on plans for the future of Wikipedia and Wikimania:

Among the projects under discussion are an online atlas charted by members of the public; a repository of classical music to be performed by student orchestras; a file format to rival the mighty MP3; an online curriculum stretching from kindergarten to university; and an archive of images of paintings by the old masters. In short, Wikipedia is to spread its wings over many more forms of culture.

I was at Wikimania and heard Jimbo Wales' speech. He didn't talk about these issues as the "future of Wikipedia." He talked in general about the "free culture" movement and ten challenges that needed to be addressed. I took good notes if you'd like a "guest" post?

Yes, I would love a 'guest' post. Email coming your way...
