Abstract<\/h2>\n

The Wikipedia is among the ten most popular websites of the world, but not many people knows about its inner workings: if it has rules or editorial criteria, if it\u2019s required any kind of credential, if there are mediations or filters, who or how decisions are taken, if it has an owner and who is the holder of its intellectual property rights, the way conflicts are managed, the works that librarians and bureaucrats do, if it\u2019s an educative platform or any kind of techno- political experiment, etc. It\u2019s not always known its function. Even the expression \u201cfree encyclopedia\u201d has led to bad interpretations, as if the project were exempt of objectives or rules. Unfortunately, several myths and errors get around without never reaching to understand the reasons why so many people dedicates their time to contribute to this project in an almost anonymous way. We won\u2019t find in this presentation brainy thoughts but the mere practical experience of passion and the thousands of hours dedicated to contribute a bit to this huge expression of the free cooperation and the human wit, not without the miseries, greatness, contradictions and hopes of the people which make it.<\/span><\/p>\n
