WIKIVERSITY
The founders of Wikipedia, the free open-source online encyclopedia, and Wikibooks, provider of free open-source textbooks, are contemplating the development of an open online educational institution. It's not clear yet whether the project, named Wikiversity, would just be another repository for online educational materials or whether it would actually host online courses. Some would like to see it offer degrees.

I was reading somewhere that in science Wikipedia was found to be almost as accurate as the Encyclopedia Brittanica (essentially so, the report seemed to me to say). A great online resource.

And the Wikiversity. Wow.
