Hi,
I just discovered that
babylon.com made a free glossary of 322 terms
from the english Wikipedia relating to the Olympic Games:
http://info.babylon.com/cgi-bin/temp.cgi?id=47768&layout=gt_new.html
Unfourtunaltely you have to download their software, that will expire
after a period of time, two read the glossary. I wonder If the glossary
contains 5 authors or a link to the version history and if they modified
anything. If they modified parts of the articles, they have to publish a
transparent copy that is readable without they proprietary software. Can
anybody check this? There is no publically available list of which
articles they collected. At least this should be done.
I like projects using Wikipedia content if Wikipedia can benefit from
they additions and modifications.
Babylon has a wide range of free glossaries contributed by Babylon's
community of users:
http://www.babylon.com/gloss/glossaries.html
But you cannot use them If you do not buy their software. It's a shame.
The firm is located in Israel and Germany. There is a court decision
that confirmed the GPL in Germany so we should also be able two refer to
the GFDL.
Thanks,
Jakob
P.S: There is a German press release about it:
