Interview to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales

At Slashdot.

Free content. That’s it.

It is my intention to get a copy of Wikipedia to every single person on the planet in their own language. It is my intention that free textbooks from our wikibooks project will be used to revolutionize education in developing countries by radically cutting the cost of content.

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing.
