Wikipedia
I've been looking at Wikipedia articles for ages but have finally decided to join in the fun and create an account.
As a long time believer in the Open Source Software model, I think the wiki paradigm is quite cool because you don't need to be a programmer to make a contribution. I know that non-programmers are always welcome in bug-testing for OSS projects but its usually a bit intimidating for your average joe.
Not that Wikipedia isn't proving to be a little time-consuming to get started (all those documents to read).
Editing is fun though- I've been writing and slicing articles all morning.
I've really been tempted to put up certain articles up there but have taken the moral high ground in avoiding dabbling in anything that I am too wrapped up in.
