I used Google Translate. I would post the entire translation here, but
not sure if that is OK or not, so I'm only posting the translation of
the first sentence.
"Have you thought about Wiki design a specific work of polishing
modules-tickets?"
Looks like a poor translation anyway.

Speaking of Hector, can someone translate this for me:
"¿Habéis pensado en
diseñar un Wiki específico para el trabajo de pulir los módulos-entradas?.
Muchos proyectos de Software están considerando aprovechar la dinámica
"Document-mode" de los Wikis como una alternativa a las "message
boards" que
permite una documentación persistente, no repetitiva e hipertextualmente
articulada de los temas que se van tratando a petición de los usuarios." It
was written by Álvaro Tejero Cantero on December 24, 2000, just a week
before the conversation at the taco stand. I can't figure out if it's
talking about software, or if it's talking about...well...Wikipedia.

And right at the end it says:
Hector, who started the 'gnupedia' project recently wrote this on his
mailing list:
"Now, the FSF's plans are give all the support to the Nupedia project.
So Nupedia will become the official GNU encyclopedia."
-0) "Nupedia seems to be too centralized and slow moving for me. I
understand the need for quality control, but wouldn't it make more
sense to have a more bazaar-type free encyclopedia project?"
Maybe so! People who want to get started _today_ on contributing free
texts to the world can do so at Wikipedia. All the content is released
under the GNU FDL, and it already has over 1000 articles. Short, and
maybe not the high quality of Nupedia, but with time? Who knows..."

What really made Wikipedia was free publicity
from Slashdot and The New

Slashdoting, but here are the links to the two New York Times articles:

http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/09/magazine/the-year-in-ideas-a-to-z-populis…
So I would say at least some of the credit goes to folks who recognized a
good idea and alerted the rest of the intellectual and internet community
to it.
