On the other hand, I think it is recognized that the mathematics sites on Wikipedia are often of a much higher grade than other pieces of this (note my using 'often' and 'higher', not absolute terms). See for instance a number of references to Wikipedia in the Notices and Bulletin of the AMS in the last few years - several using it implicitly as a standard reference. That doesn't mean it's perfect, but at least in mathematics many articles are as correct, as useful, and *much* more accessible, than the standard references. Just some thoughts, not necessarily relevant to CS of course. - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
