Somebody is launching an encyclopedia based on the Open-Source model. The open source method has a lot of merit, but sometimes I wonder if stuff created by quirky individuals isn’t more interesting, even if it is buggier. Web logs are a good example. The ones maintained by one person are usually much more fun and flavorful than the ones that allow a bunch of people to contribute. Long live the lone weirdo!
