Wikipedia's $100 Million Dream

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday October 22, 2006 @10:23AM from the omg-free-kermit dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Jimmy Wales recently asked the Wikipedia community to suggest useful, 'works that could in theory be purchased and freed' assuming a 'budget of $100 million to purchase copyrights.' He went on to say that he has spoken with a person 'who is potentially in a position to make this happen.' Ideas are being collected at the meta-wiki. Some early suggestions include, satellite imagery, textbooks, scientific journals and photo archives." So how about it? What works would you like to see wikified?

> Even the King James Version is under crown copyright in the UK It's a good thing the bible is a nonsensical curiosity that isn't worth the paper it is printed on then.
