Side note to everyone on Hacker News: Contributing to Wikipedia is a great way to spread ideas because Wikipedia is a searchable platform that everyone looks at. An informational article that you write for Wikipedia is likely to have far more impact than if you write on your personal blog. So if your goal is to educate, consider contributing!
- gballan 13y agoWe are big fans of Wikipedia, and so appreciate your comment. However, even though I am straying from your (valid) point, I think it worth emphasizing that not all types of knowledge are encyclopedic, and encyclopedias do not suit every purpose. Blogs, for instance, can convey a casual interaction and experience with a topic that would not be suitable for wikipedia. Broadly our goal is to bring code and knowledge together in exciting ways. In this case to attempt to bring an "Aha!" moment to a non-specialist audience. In other cases, people may be served better to get involved with the code: http://puzlet.com/m/b00d3 http://puzlet.com/m/b00d3 . Anyway, those are the kinds of areas we want to explore.

- jacobolus 13y agoWikipedia is great, but it takes an order of magnitude more effort to create and maintain a wikipedia article than it takes to put the same exact content on your own site.
- Houshalter 13y agoI find this article a hundred times more understandable than most wikipedia pages. At least wikipedia pages on any math or technical subject.
