Nupedia
Nupedia is an online encyclopedia project founded in March 2000 by Jimbo Wales and Larry Sanger. Its articles are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, and it features a peer review by experts. After an eighteen month gap from 12 October, 2001, Nupedia released two more articles on April 26, 2003, on source code and bacteria.Nupedia is powered by: NupeCode collaborative software. A new version of the Nupedia code is being developed (and in trial use at a different website), dubbed NuNupedia.
Periodically there has been talk on the Wikipedia mailing list about the possibility of transforming Nupedia into a stable distribution of selected Wikipedia content.
