I've recently been digging in to some of the Wikipedia history (including
pointing links from the Wikipedia timeline to Wayback machine's versions of
the Nupedia list) but the one link I haven't been able to find is Wale's
statement about the confusion resulting from Stallman's announcement:
http://slashdot.org/articles/01/01/20/0319231_F.shtml ->
http://www.themestream.com/gspd_browse/browse/view_article.gsp?c_id=299223
Unfortunately, that page is just ads and links now and Jimbo doesn't seem to
have a copy and he recommended this list as a possible source.
