Dear Mr. Jimmy Wales, Why don't you make wikipedia per-to-per, so the other countries could be the owners of their own contents ? I don't believe in a secure and accurate information under the USA, and Europe servers, according with their laws and interests. Their Laws isn't the World law, and Wikipedia contents are World contents. Think about it, if you don't give us the right (under our law) to access world public information, so I will be very interested to make it possible.
Thanks, Cacalo.

So you're aware, people from all over edit the articles (and there's nothing stopping anyone from downloading them and starting a fork, in your country or any other). Also, Jimbo is not the author of even 1% of the material in WP (I doubt he's read any significant fraction of it either), and certainly those of use who are US or EU residents do our best to keep the content neutral for everyone.
Maybe if you explain your concern in more detail the list can help offer a solution?

I think you mean Peer-to-peer and don't mean that a country such as Russia or Saudi Arabia would own contents but that Wikipedia would be held in a distributed network. Is that what you mean? What software would be needed and what barrier exists to doing that in parallel to our present setup?

The very nature of wikis makes this impossible. If anyone can edit, how do the other peers know that they are now out of date? The entire system would be one big edit conflict.
