I thought colleagues might be interested in this comment from Cambridge chemist and Open Science advocate Peter Murray-Rust, from a blog post that came out yesterday:

"Wikipedia and Mozilla (and others) have shown that concerned citizens can create massive value, which, being Open is at a high level of Truth. [...] Wikipedia is already the best scholarly publishing system in C21[.]"

Good to see yet another bold advocate within academia. I'm in contact with Peter as part of my Jisc project.
