>I remember when Assange founded Wikipedia... From Wikipedia: >Jimmy Wales launched the site in 2001 and funded its initial servers through his company Bomis. >Larry Sanger co-founded the project alongside Wales, proposed the name "Wikipedia," and drafted several foundational policies such as the neutral point of view. >Julian Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006. | ||
