Famous people of the internet — and the world at large — are being asked to record their voice for digital archiving as part of a year-old Wikipedia project. That effort, led by Wikipedia contributor Andy Mabbett, began in late-2012 and is now getting off the ground with recordings by British celebrity Stephen Fry and astronaut Charlie Duke.
