Mr. Wales, what was the origin behind Wikipedia?

About two years before I founded Wikipedia I had founded another project called Nupedia. It was based upon the same concept as Wikipedia, which was that it was a freely licensed encyclopedia that was written by volunteers. Unfortunately, we didn't use the Wiki software and it was a very top down model, which ultimately wasn't very successful. It was difficult to manage and when all was said and done, it wasn't very much fun for the volunteers. We found the Wiki editing software and began using that, which turned out to be quite a success.
