I really need to congratulate the guys who've worked their heads off on wikipedia and allowed people to share what they know best. I'm finding it really useful. But I felt that the real use of wikipedia only remains for net users and usually deal in detail on smaller topics. That would really not be enough to people who are seriously looking for stuff. Books in libraries would still be the best alternative. I felt by joining up articles from wiki that cover a certain topic and putting it together in the form of an e-book would be a great idea, with a continuity in thought and with more explanatory matter. And as and when these e-books improve in quality and content, I'm sure publishers would be keen to publish them as it helps cut on their development costs. Could the guys at wiki start something like this, it would really be useful!!
