Technology Review: How Obama <em>Really</em> Did It

This is probably the article that best describes my own experience having reserached Wikipedia.  There is alot of public misperception about Wikipedia – inaccurate, open to anyone, an ad-hoc venture.  This article reveals the best and the worst, the closest thing to an unvarnished picture as I have yet read.  It’s a fascinating environment, a pity that people only read the articles from time to time
