Philip Greenspun Illustration Project

August 14, 2008

I’ll be participating in the Philip Greenspun Illustration Project, a project to fund the creation and improvement of illustrations for Wikimedia, the foundation that runs the free online encyclopedia, Wikipedia. This project is made possible by a personal contribution from internet entrepreneur Philip Greenspun, who acknowledges the importance and efficacy of visual communication. He and project coordinator Brianna Laugher were interviewed by the New York Times about the project. The resulting illustrations will appear on relevant Wikipedia pages, and be available freely through a Creative Commons license.
