[John at Darkstar]

The release has been given a lot of press coverage, and some comparisons
between the encyclopedias has been done. Two of them, in Dagbladet[1]
and Dagsavisen[2], has concluded that Wikipedia is best. According to
Aftenposten the new edition will cost Kunskapsforlaget and their owners
Aschehoug og Gyldendal NOK 25 mill over the next 3 years, approx USD 3.6
mill.[3]
