[nzlug] open source in NZ schools

[Andras Farago]

Good Morning,
He he Wikipedia....
Somevhere here in NZ a school had a subscription for an online encyclopedia. For some reason the encyclopedia was unavailable for this school. I recommended to use the Wikipedia until the original become online again. Do you know what was the answer from the librarians?
"We can not use the Wikipedia because people without relevant qualification can write articles into that encyclopedia!"
I just wandering about what qualifications had Diderot, Montesquieu or Rousseau but they could made the "Enlightenment". Here on NZ could be prohibited to them to do any scientific work today. :-)
