Dear Wiki-Research memebers,
Apologies if this has been debated before : I came across that The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA will be presenting a new exhibition from January on called "Make Software: Change the world" that focuses on seven "game changing applications" and among them : Wikipedia
http://www.computerhistory.org/exhibits/makesoftware/
Has somebody on the list worked with the project or is aware of how Wikipedia is presented in the exhibit ?
Yours,
Hi Alexandre,
yes, Andrew Lih (CCed) worked with them on this, and preparations included a brainstorming session held by CHM in Mountain View in December 2012, which about 15 local Wikipedians (including myself) attended.

Yes, I was an advisor for this project, and I’m glad it’s finally making its debut! It’s been more than four years in the making, when it was originally meant to be done in three.

As the opening approaches, I’ll make sure to let folks know about opening events.
