You need to put the first sentence of the article above the metadata! Other than that, cool.

Sorry for the blog-like tone of this, but, well, I copied it from my blog. Basically public alpha means you dont need an account to view the content, its moving forward, is pretty spiffy, actually. Any thoughts about implementing variables, potentially given values through the infoboxes we have, to give the same sort of easily called, easily distributed ability to our articles on companies and people?

I've been an alpha tester on Freebase, a nifty project to create a wikipedia-like source of information on things, without the prose as a simply straight facts version. Check out the starbucks page for example, here. http://www.freebase.com/view/starbucks Especially geared towards applications and web 2.0 stuff, with a full featured API to dynamically call content. This is quite a nice feature for developers to use when integrating with the content, an ability I'd like to see in wikipedia at some point. It's now moved in to a public alpha, meaning I have ten invitations to the project if anyone wants it. Hit me up if you do.
