Expert edition.(Larry Sanger of Y2K News Reports with Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia)
Byline: Mark Chillingworth
Larry
Sanger
Anchorage, Alaska, is right in the top left-hand corner of a map of the world. The remote city is where Larry Sanger spent his formative years, having been born in the state of Washington.
He arrived at the online world as a result of a Masters in philosophy from Ohio State University. "From the age of 17 I wanted to be a philosophy professor, but after completing my degree, I realised I didn't want to do that as a career."
He describes philosophy as a "habit" and wanted a way to suport it. This was the late 1990s and the world was getting into a lather about the Year 2000 bug (Y2K) precipitating IT meltdown.
Sanger set up Y2K News Reports, which quickly became a major resource for news and information on the bug. "This site was widely read," he says. But come January 2000, Sanger was looking for a new project to feed his habit. It was at this time that he met the other founding father of Wikipedia, Jimmy Wales.
