Quoted from a recent addition to Wikipedia Announcements:
National Public Radio ("future tense") this morning featured an interview with Ward Cunningham, the inventor of the Wiki concept. Wikipedia was mentioned repeatedly, along with its URL. A [real audio version of the interview] is available.
Quotes from Ward:
"The Wiki concept is much closer to the way the web was initially intended than static web pages." "I'd much rather have a community than a shopping mall."
Here's the URL for program:

Cool. Very cool.
We are coming up on our one year anniversary, and closing the gap on 20,000 articles. The progress for only one year of work is astonishing.
We could probably get another Slashdot story on our anniversary.
