jimmy came and worked with us for two or three weeks back in 2004. nothing came of it, much to my shame. we had a good long look at ways of working together, but sadly we don't own our own bandwidth following the sale of BBC Technology to Siemans a couple of years ago. i think wikipedia will be fine...

Perhaps it would be a good use of BBC money to support Wikipedia, given they don't want adverts. All they want is bandwidth - perhaps the BBC could provide it. Wouldn't BBC Wikipedia put the Beeb to the top of the web 2.0 ladder?
