Wikipedia

I recently (maybe a little later than most) discovered Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a new kind of encyclopedia - it's produced collaboratively. It's a kind of collaborative software. The word Wikipedia is a portmanteau (a word formed by combining two words) of "wikiwiki" and "encyclopedia".

I think the concept is beautiful - it's a great example of what people can accomplish with a little teamwork.
