Conspiracy theorists and anti-Googlers may disagree, but I think that Google’s recent $2,000,000 donation to the Wikimedia Foundation is a great step forward. Here’s the full press release.

A notable quote from Google co-founder Sergey Brin:

“Wikipedia is one of the greatest triumphs of the internet. This vast repository of community-generated content is an invaluable resource to anyone who is online.”

Now, hopefully they can get closer to a WYSIWYG editor and lowering the barriers to entry for new contributors.
