“Jon Udell”:http://udell.roninhouse.com/ (writer for both “InfoWorld”:http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/ and “O’Reilly Network”:http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/au/32) talks about the evolution of “Wikipedia”:http://www.wikipedia.com pages “here”:http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/2005/01/22.html — erhhh, more specifically he talks about the origin of the “heavy metal Umlaut page”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_metal_umlaut. Paracelsus Rambles did a little writeup on Jon’s work “here”:http://www.starchamber.com/archives/001908.html.

So how cool is Wikipedia?

P.S. Jon talks about the making of his screencast “here”:http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2005/02/07/primetime.html. “This”:http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/gems/umlaut.html (you’ll need a flash-enabled browser to view the screencast) is a direct link to Jon’s screencast on the Wikipedia heavy metal umlaut page.

P.S.S. More on screencasting soon.
