What I’m writing about can be found at the WikiMedia list of Projects page, but I feel like paying it a tribute here, as it is becoming the greatest repository of content on the Internet.
Projects actually held by the Wikimedia Foundation:
 Wikipedia, the free-content encyclopedia. |
 Wiktionary, the multilingual dictionary in every language |
 Wikiquote, the compendium of quotations.
|
 Wikibooks, a collection of open-content textbooks. It includes the Wikiversity, the learning community with online courses. |
 Wikisource, the repository of source texts in any language which are either in the public domain, or are released under the GNU Free Documentation License. |
 Wikinews, the free-content news source
|
 Wikimedia Commons, the central repository for free images, music, sound & video clips and, possibly, texts and spoken texts, used in pages of any Wikimedia project |
 Wikispecies, the open, free directory of species |
Pretty bunch of content, isn’t it?
It might seem absurd to copy and paste this information here, but I guess some of us did not know about all the projects the WikiMedia Foundation is running untill we bumped into someone posting about them ;)
