    Mirek,

    First you remind us about sweeping changes in Poland, then the XX anniversary of your successful web services company, now you tell us about databases extracted from Wikipedia - and the promise of a new civilized world via the Semantic Web!!

    Your blog is a fun and interesting place to visit!
    Compliments,
    A fan
