"The design of Wikipedia," said its founder and president Jimmy Wales, 
"is the design of community."

When Wikipedia was started in 2001, all of its technology and software 
elements had been around since 1995. Its innovation was entirely 
social--- free licensing of content, neutral point of view, and total 
openness to participants, especially new ones. The core engine of 
Wikipedia, as a result, is "a community of thoughtful users, a few 
hundred volunteers who know each other and work to guarantee the quality 
and integrity of the work."
