A Blog about Knowledge Sharing

In September, the Wikimedia Foundation won a $250,000 grant from the Knight Foundation to start building the "Wikimedia Knowledge Engine," a "system for discovering reliable and trustworthy public information on the internet," according to grant documents, which were released late last week.
