Slashdot Mirror
Jimmy Wales's Open Source Collaboration Tips
destinyland writes "In a new interview Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales acknowledges his debt to Richard Stallman's Free Software Foundation and discusses his new open source search project. He applauds the way Open Source developers work around their ideological differences, acknowledges that he's an Ayn Rand objectivist who's skeptical of the wisdom of crowds, and blames Slashdot for his grandstanding comment that Wikipedia would bury Encyclopedia Brittanica within five years."
The point of my post was that Rand's thought is not taken seriously within the philosophical community. If you beg to differ, please tell me which peer-reviewed journals Rand sought to publish in and what tenured scholars base their research and teaching on her work. K thx bye.
