Perusing my paper over lunch, I spotted a nice write up of the project in todays Guardian.
Highlights : "perhaps one of the greatest testaments to the generosity on the web" "What makes the Wikipedia so compelling - and this article so hard to finish - is the way everything is so massively linked. You read one entry, and before you know it, you're reading up on Anne Boleyn or Italian greyhounds."
Not bad for the press, even though they got the URL wrong, credited Sanger with the creation of Wiktionary, and utterly mangled the definition of WikiWiki.
Well, then. Maybe somebody should send a letter to the editor in, and maybe with a little luck they'll run it twice and we'll get two mentions for the price of one :)
