An article in today’s Globe and Mail describes the corporate transformations through which Wikipedia is going. The online encyclopedia is run by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization.

Its new head of business development, Kul Wadhwa, already has many plans for Wikipedia, like developing the website on mobile platforms such as cellphones.
