History

The Enciclopedia was founded by contributors to the Spanish-language Wikipedia (http://es.wikipedia.org) who decided to start an independent project. They left the Wikipedian community on February 26, 2002, bring with them all the articles of the Spanish-language Wikipedia at that time to a new website provided by the University of Seville for free.

Future

Several talks have been made to make a merger. There are also may be changes, in the future, on Wikipedia and Enciclopedia Libre that may contribute to a merger

• Creation of a non-profit Wikipedia organisation
• Multilingual portal with phase 4
• Installation of PhaseIII software on Enciclopedia Libre
