One long article and a few short essays color the current/upcoming
Chronicle of Higher Education. They draw on Wikimania, interview
academics interested in contributing (notably Alex Halavais of ancient
misinformation-study infamy, and Elijah Meeks), profs on using WP as a
reference, Jimbo and Larry Sanger. Overall, well researched if
sparing of detail.

If you want to ask any questions of Halavais in person, there will be
a live online chat (CHE 2.0?!) Thursday at 3pm EST:
