Probably this has already been discussed here ad nauseum, but:

As for the USA Today article, I wonder if the comment "Sanger says he intended to keep nurturing Nupedia's expert-review idea as well, but he was laid off from Bomis in 2002, apparently because of cost-cutting in the dot-com bust" explains the anti-Wikipedia rant on every page? Long time to hold a grudge, pal.
