Larry Sanger was one of the moving forces behind the pioneering Nupedia 
project. That makes him one of the people to thank for Wikipedia, which 
has been enjoying more and more visibility of late. Sanger has prepared 
a lengthy, informative account of the early history of Nupedia and 
Wikipedia, including some cogent observations on project management, 
online legitimacy, dealing with trolls, and other hazards of running a 
large, collaborative project over the Internet. As Sanger writes, "A 
virtually identical version of this memoir is due to appear this summer 
in Open Sources 2.0, published by O'Reilly and edited by Chris DiBona, 
Danese Cooper, and Mark Stone. The volume is to be a successor to Open 
Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution (1999)." Read on below 
for the story (continued tomorrow).
