A wiki neighbor hits a milestone
January 30th, 2009
Yesterday we discovered that WikiHow, a wiki neighbor of ours that provides user-generated ‘how-to’ info has hit the admirable 50,000 article milestone.
WikiHow provides their content freely in a creative commons license, they publish in multiple languages, and they run MediaWiki, the same open-source software that powers Wikipedia and thousands of other wikis around the world. They’ve also been a hugely generous financial sponsor of previous Wikimania conferences.
Congrats to WikiHow and their dedicated volunteers. Here’s to 50K more how-to articles!

Bluebirch, by-nc-sa is more free than 99%+ of websites, so it seems better to be pleased that they are one of the most free websites, not complain that they could be slightly more free.
