[Foundation-l] Greetings, Wikimedians

[James Hare]

How is Wikipedia better than World Book or Encyclopaedia Britannica? How is
Wikinews better than CNN.com? How is Wiktionary better than dictionary.com?
The idea is that when Wikimedia starts a project, we're the copyleft
alternative to the ideal corporate source we're getting information from.
The information Wikimedia publishes is for all the people with Internet
access, and eventually the entire world.
