[Foundation-l] Improving Wikipedia Information graphics

[Andrew Lih]

That's great stuff, thanks for letting the list know about it. Wikipedia
may have squashed Encarta and put Britannica on its heels, but those
encyclopedias had the edge with multimedia and professional infographics.

This is a wonderful step forward and I hope we'll see more.
