This site, run by enterprising Jimmy Wales, has consistently refused to appear on it any commercials, so the money for their work to collect donations. Last action brought to collect her $ 16 million.

As expected, the Wikipedia in the past ten years, accompanied by many controversies. Although the main goal was that everyone can edit the content of articles, the controversy were often at different levels of protection which the changes may just checked users. Some are often temporary lockable to prevent vandalism and edit wars.

In an article dedicated to Wikipedia itself on such events among other things writes this: “While Wikipedia policy strictly stipulates the possibility of verifying the content and viewpoint neutrality, critics accuse the Wikipedia is a systematic bias and inconsistencies (including by attaching undue weight popularoj culture) and claim it in its the editorial process favors consensus rather than credibility. The target of criticism as its reliability and accuracy. Other critics have largely concentrated on its susceptibility to vandalism and insertion of suspicious or unverified information, but extensive research suggests that vandalism generally short-lived, and research journals Nature showed that the scientific articles that have a similar degree of accuracy compared with those from the Encyclopaedia Britannica and to have a similar percentage of ‘serious error’. ”

“Wikipedia is a masterpiece of human achievement. Wikipedia is more than just web pages. Many think only of internet and technology. Wikipedia is actually the subject of culture, a new way of learning. The old idea of humanity, knowledge acquisition, transfer is now in the digital age”, she told the German state radio Deustch Welle.

Judging from the reactions of the UNESCO, the ambition is not likely to happen.

“The idea that the well-known internet encyclopedia inscribed in the List of World Heritage is not realistic”, says a representative of the German Commission for UNESCO, Dieter Ofenheuser. “Wikipedia is not an option. World Heritage List is intended for buildings, pyramids, historic city centers, natural areas, cathedrals and so on, but it is not intended for such ideas”.

“We look with much sympathy on Wikipedia. As a completely new kind of international libraries, it in itself is something very unique. Wikipedia is a magnificent idea that changed the world. They could enter the program with similar documents”, said the Ofenheuser.

Pacifica was intended to extend Adobe’s Flash player and AIR development platform on the PC and Mac to provide the highest-quality voice reproduction possible. It was to be based upon on the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), a signaling protocol for voice and video over IP. It was intended to provide voice-based synchronous point-to-point communication on Internet browsers. Users were to need only a microphone and a Flash player to experience high-quality voice communication.

A Pacifica beta was set for release in early summer of 2008. But it never happened. By mid-2008, announcements and updates from Adobe on the status of Pacifica ceased, and at this time it appears the project has been either abandoned or redefined.
