Missed something. At this point he described the necessity for a free encyclopedia and dictionaries, and expressed his surprise and pleasure that in only three years Wikipedia has expanded to 15,000 entries - about a quarter of the size of Britannica (I think), and already a fairly good encyclopedia in itself. He also mentioned some projects to provide free dictionaries in several languages, and expressed the wish to see a free English dictionary in his lifetime. -- marlin eater
