For those of you who know (and love!) wikipedia, here’s some good news. Wikipedia has recently reached an agreement with the EU-related news
site EUobserver.com so that all the news summaries (shown on the EUobserver frontpage) published since Sept. 29 are put in the public domain (!), and in return, Wikipedia will add those summaries to its “Current events” page. The agreement itself is described here. This is an interesting collaboration between more traditional journalism and the largely anarchistic world of wikis.
