Phoebe, thank you! I want to help but have been watching the emails in this forum in stupid silence for weeks now, not knowing how the whole thing was put together, or what anyone's role was.
I just ordered How Wikipedia Works. I hope the foundation is getting a cut. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of phoebe ayers Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 10:40 AM To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] the Foundation Hi Tyler! The history of wikis is pretty well documented here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_wikis And the history of Wikipedia and how it came to be is analyzed in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Wikipedia, and also at length in the book "The Wikipedia Revolution", by Andrew Lih. If you're curious about the Wikimedia Foundation, which this is the mailing list for, it's described briefly in the book "How Wikipedia Works": http://howwikipediaworks.com/ch17.html cheers, Phoebe On Thu, Feb 11, 2010 at 11:01 PM, Tyler <[email protected]> wrote: > Is Jimmy Wales on this list?
