That's great stuff, thanks for letting the list know about it. Wikipedia may have squashed Encarta and put Britannica on its heels, but those encyclopedias had the edge with multimedia and professional infographics.
This is a wonderful step forward and I hope we'll see more.

Hi,
I have a nice little project to share. Our graphic design students have been improving some of the information graphics in the Wikipedia articles. The work was done as part of their Information Design class. The teachers of the class wrote about the class and its results in here:

I think this is a good example of running Wikipedia Education Program / Wikipedia Academy kind of activities in art and design schools. Please copy!
