Jimmy Wales assembled “a ragtag band of volunteers,” gave them tools for collaborating, and created Wikipedia, the self-organizing, self-correcting, never-finished encyclopedia of the future.”

In this video, he explains how the collaborative approach works, why it succeeds and why its still running successfully. Along the way, he explains the “neutral point-of-view policy” and why it is non-debatable; and details the Wikipedia governance model.
