Wikipedia to create more 'stable' version in search for better quality

Wikipedia, the online user-written encyclopedia that has come under fire for inaccuracies, is to introduce a more traditional fixed version of its contents in an effort to increase its reliability.

Wikipedia will now have two versions. One real time, that works on the current model and is continuously updated and corrected by its users, and one that is static and verified and corrected by experts.

This appears to be a sensible enough solution to their quality management in the short term. It seems to me that the real issue longer term is how to improve the quality management on the continuously updated one. If they get enough users, and earn enough from them via advertising, then they should be able to hire experts to verify and improve on the content. It's the usual chicken and egg challenge.

Maybe Wikipedia should raise capital to finance this - ooh! Now that's going over to the dark side, isn't it?!
