I'd love to see a more interactive, "HTML5-y" (sorry) Wikipedia, like Encarta back in the day. More prominent audio/video; interactive maps, charts, etc. Sure, we essentially have the same content on the Web now, but not tied together like it could be. And of course, more MindMaze couldn't hurt. EDIT: Processing[1] seems like a perfect fit for such a thing. Open, fairly easy to use, focused on interactive graphics, and compiles to JavaScript so it works with most browsers (and Java too, so can even include IE6 in the party) [1] http://www.processing.org/ http://www.processing.org/

Qwiki[1] aims for a more interactive (albeit Flash-dependent) presentation of mostly the same information that's in Wikipedia. There's also a site called 'Ultrastudio' that aims to supplement encyclopedia articles with illustrative applets.

Personally, I'd like wikipedia to stay the way it is, but others can build on top of wikipedia's content. They are having trouble as it is, with getting more contributors and spam.
