EJC: French publishing group sets up rival to Wikipedia

France has long battled against the Anglophone cultural invasion and now it has thrown down a virtual gauntlet. Larousse, the French encyclopaedia created more than 150 years ago, is launching its own — it would say improved — version of Wikipedia. Its first, free-access, online encyclopaedia will have the same contributor function but, to try to surmount the inherent problem of unreliability of articles, which can be modified by anyone at any time, Larousse has introduced some constraints. Users who want to contribute have to sign up and their names will then appear on the article they submit. Unlike on Wikipedia, anonymous contributions are not allowed, and once written, contributions become protected. Alongside the user-written pieces, Larousse will be making available 150,000 articles from its universal encyclopaedia, plus 10,000 images. Larousse is promising more in the future, along with the inclusion later this year of hundreds of video clips from channels such as National Geographic. (The Independent)

LETTER FROM TERRY: A BLAST FROM THE PAST

Danny, hey, hi there…by way of introduction, many years ago when you were with WBCN my friend Jimmy Kane, the greatest harmonica player the world has never known, and I, did a moving job for you – Terry’s Trucking, truck all painted with mushrooms – either from or to Charles Laquidara’s apartment in the Back Bay…then you treated us to a nice tour of the station high above the Hub…

It’s good to see over the years you’ve not lost your way nor your voice and are still fighting for what is good and right…

I take the liberty of sending you a copy of my much-written about, and highly acclaimed (‘Notes From The Dump ranges from terrible to brilliant…’) Notes From The Dump

Thanx Danny for all you do/have done/will do.

Regardz. TWard, Terry

“I hope you are familiar with the book

Crossing the Rubicon: the Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil by Michael Ruppert

(uniquely ignored by the liberal alternative media and the corporate media, but it expands on the themes of your opinion piece for alternet – yes, the “president” is a figure head and not where the real power resides)”

Thanks to all who wrote. Time for me to pack up. Hope you find this work useful. It costs a fortune to get access in a hotel here.

I hope to get back to New York time to drop in on the 40 anniversary shin dig for NACLA, the North American Congress on Latin America. Among its early publications was “WHO RULES COLUMBIA” an analyisis of the university’s powe structure and war contracting published right after the Columbia Strike and with documents, um, “liberated” from the office of President Grayson Kirk. Oh what researchers had to do to learn the truth. A year later, I worked on a similar project after the Harvard student strike. We called ours “HOW HARVARD RULES.”
