on Encyclopedic Ambitions
Do the editors of the Oregon Encyclopedia Project know that their
model for building an online encyclopedia has been tried in the past?
Before founding Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales started Nupedia, which was
written by experts and underwent a rigorous peer review just like the
OEP. Nupedia was eventually abandoned in favor of Wikipedia because its process was far too slow to create a useful body of work.
