RecentChangesCamp is the family reunion for the Wiki Ohana! The 2008 RecentChangesCamp will be held May 9-11 in Palo Alto, California (San Francisco Bay Area).

Nowhere on the Internet does this free lunch logic hold more true than at Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia anyone can edit. Sure, it's monetarily free, but it costs you heaps in credibility and accuracy, as well as the time spent combing over information for instances of "jason is a faggit" and other assorted such delights hidden mid-paragraph here and there.
