Printed Wikipedia Now Available - But Why?
Earlier this year, we reported about a contentious debate among Wikipedia authors about whether writers should be paid if their articles were used in printed versions of the online encyclopedia. Today, that question has been answered.
German publisher Bertelsmann just released a printed, 992 page version of the German Wikipedia. It will sell for 19.95 Euros, of which 1 Euro will go to the Wikimedia Foundation.
Lingro: Possibly The Coolest Dictionary and Translation Service We've Ever Seen
Lingro is a fantastic collaborative dictionary and translation service that combines open dictionaries on the web with user contributions under a CreativeCommons license. It's particularly useful for people reading in a second language who just need help with a few unusual words now and again. Anyone will find the basic two-click dictionary lookup feature useful though.
The service is very feature rich, but the easiest way to use it is with a javascript bookmarklet. One click of the bookmarklet makes every word on the page you're on clickable for an instant dictionary pop-up. You can add your own definitions right in the same pop-up. For many of the words there are audio pronunciations provided, too.
