[Feb 10, 2004] Google wants to collaborate with
Wikipedia, and they're planning to
help this project by donating bandwidth and servers to handle part of
Wikipedia's increasing load.
In the next weeks, the 'Wikimedia
Foundation' --international non-profit organization dedicated to encourage
the development of this free Encyclopedia and other projects-- is likely to announce
an agreement with Google.
UPDATED: Jimmy Wales --Wikipedia founder--
met with Sergei Brin and
Larry Page, who were extremely enthousiastic about the whole project. Google plans to donate
a certain number of 'Dual
Zeon' servers at one or more of their data centers and with unlimited bandwidth. In some days Wikimedia
Foundation Board is to discuss --via
IRC-- the agreemente with Google, who aren't to ask anything in return (ads on Wikipedia pages).
