Sun launches "Javapedia"

http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Javapedia/WebHome

Sun tries to learn from Wikipedia's success by creating its own
"Javapedia". As is typical for Sun, they have a great idea and terrible
execution, using the user-hostile, CamelCase-based TWiki for their
project. So you get nice article titles like
"EnterpriseApplicationIntegrationPatterns". On the positive side, they
explicitly reference the Wikipedia philosophy such as the "neutral point
of view" and state that

    "Our model is the Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/), a free
    encyclopedia being constructed online by volunteers. Work on the
    Wikipedia started in January 2001, and as of May 2003 the community
    has written over 120,000 articles."

Regards,

Erik
