Apple was an engine of innovation from about 1976 to 1991 with overlapping
breakthrough projects (1976-1983: Apple I/II) (1978-1985: Macintosh)
(1986-1992: Powerbook). It then entered a period of decline, reaching a
nadir in the mid-nineties.

No, just profoundly sad that Wikipedia is in what
seems to be an
inexorable
decline. But idea-based projects generally have about seven years of
innovation before they lose steam (see SRI, Xerox PARC, GNU, Apple).
Perhaps
Wikipedia will enjoy a rebirth, but I expect its natural successor
to emerge
under a different umbrella. Fortunately, the important thing for
posterity
is that Wikipedia's core assets are under a free license.
