Both very interesting.
"Wikipedia is probably closer to Douglas Adams's vision that h2g2"
For the record, it is not. DNA was the one to say "We have the first snow flake. Now let's build a blizzard." I think he must have known that h2g2 would take a while to build up to that blizzard he imagined. It may yet. But I think that Mr Adams would be rolling in his grave if we remembered his books with an earth edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica.
