Seffiks Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 CIA, feds using Wikipedia software for intel reports Snip from SF Chron story:The CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies have created a new computer system that uses software from a popular Internet encyclopedia site to gather input on sensitive topics from analysts across the spy community, part of an effort to fix problems that plagued prewar estimates on Iraq. The new system, called "Intellipedia" because it is built on open-source software from the Wikipedia Web site, was launched earlier this year. It is already being used to assemble intelligence reports on Nigeria and other subjects, according to U.S. intelligence officials who discussed the initiative in detail for the first time Tuesday http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/11/01/MNGMIM3K471.DTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
