摘要：By now you have probably used, viewed, critiqued, or shared content on Wikipedia on many topics. Some entries are general, some esoteric, some even dealing with decision sciences topics such as information systems, supply chain management, and organizations. Wiki-pedia is an online, open source, collaborative encyclopedia. It has over 10 million articles in over 250 languages (2.2 million separate entries in English) created by thousands of contributors. It is edited by tens of thousands of volunteers and yet the operating staff of this nonprofi t has only recently grown from 10 to 15 people. As a nonprofi t organization founded on the concept of a collaborative group of volunteers, it shares some common features with DSI.
