I have started a Wikipedia page. I'm trying to make it a bit like the UUID page. I'll work on this in the future; help is appreciated though! See the talk page to see what I'm planning to change / do.

Another idea might be trying to get ULID's standardized by some standards body/bodies?

Oh, and while I'm at it; it think we need to clarify the spec on monotonicity being a required part of the spec or not (or maybe even get rid of monotonicity?)

fw(little)iw, the monotonicity issue made me walk away from ulid a few years ago. That wasn' a property that I was specifically seeking out, but was really confused when I saw that a number of the blessed implementations with a checkmark indicating they conformed to the spec did not implement the randomness increment whatsoever. I wasn't sure how "serious" the conformance to spec was in general for ulid, and couldn't evangelize for it.
