I'm continually impressed by the amount of community reporting and fact-finding that goes on with people who post and edit content on the World Wide Web. Case in point: in 4 days, an article on Hurricane Katrina on Wikipedia has reached 16 printed pages. That's just awesome.
Is the article perfect? Not yet, since this is a developing story. That said, there's lots of factual information in there that I've yet to read in one place, be it a news story or another web site, including when and how the storm was first discovered, effects on different industries, and specifics on the response by military and National Guard.
Power to the commons.
