What do you think of Wikipedia?

If you were in charge of a project to create something like Wikipedia, but better, what would you create?

Wikipedia is in some ways brilliant and in other ways awful

Its difficult to not be impressed with the quantity and depth of content ont he site.

BUT it is very much the world according to reasonably wealthy middle class white folk (although arguably this is no different from Encyclopedia Britanica!)
And it can be a bit like asking your mates down the pub about the question thats been botherting you for a while - just with the difference being that it has more mates than you do.

All in all - a good service - as long as you accept it in its "warts and all entirety" , and dont quote it as a reliable source (but then - since when was anything on the internet a reliable source!)
