Nupedia

Nupedia is an online encyclopedia project founded in March 2000 by Jimbo Wales and Larry Sanger. Its articles are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, and it features a peer review by experts. After an eighteen month gap from 12 October 2001, Nupedia released two more articles on April 26, 2003, on source code and bacteria.

Nupedia is powered by NupeCode collaborative software. A new version of the Nupedia code is being developed (and in trial use at a different website), dubbed NuNupedia.
