Not to discourage folks from checking it out, but it was somewhat less
inspirational/revolutionary than I had hoped. The two things I found
interesting where that he thinks they are going to put the
encyclopedia publishers out of business in 5 years and that he thinks
most people are motivated to contribute out of a desire/love to share
information in order to help mankind.
