Google might host Wikipedia

By Matt Hines

"Wiki Media Foundation, the group behind the Wikipedia online encyclopedia project, said Friday that search giant Google has volunteered to host some of its content on company servers.

"In a notice posted to the nonprofit organization's Web site, the group, also known as Wikimedia, said its board of directors is currently considering the terms of Google's offer and plans to meet with the search company sometime in March.

"The group was quick to point out that any relationship established with Google would not require it to begin advertising on its Web site.

"Google representatives refused to confirm a deal with Wikimedia but indicated that the company plans continued support for the effort and its various projects."
