My thoughts on wikipedia (the short version):
- Misplaced Pages is a very different encyclopedia - it has over 500,000 editors who continually change and develop it; it has far more scope and far more articles than any publication in human history; and it is a place for mass dialogue, argument and social interaction.
- Needs complete ownership and control (including hardware/server) by Wikimedia Foundation (as a non-profit knowledge resource owned and controlled by its contributors)
- Jimbo Wales needs to give up all excess ownership and control.
- Much more accountability of administrators, Arbcom, Bureaucrats, Stewards, and Developers (i don't agree with "This should be no big deal") - see social class
- It should be recognised for being the democratic, international organisation that it is.
Sudoku is a sorry distraction from life.. who is behind this assault on leisure time?

==quotes of the month:==
"Let the brethren serve each other so that no one be excused from the work in the kitchen, except on account of sickness or more necessary work, because greater merit and more charity is thereby acquired" -- On the weekly workers in the kitchen from the Rule of St Benedict
"We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't know what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back." — Jean-Claude Juncker, PM of Luxembourg describing the way the EU works ("Der Spiegel", 52/1999, S. 136)
"Capital . . . in the political field is analogous to government . . . The economic idea of capitalism, the politics of government or of authority, and the theological idea of the Church are three identical ideas, linked in various ways. To attack one of them is equivalent to attacking all of them . . . What capital does to labour, and the State to liberty, the Church does to the spirit. This trinity of absolutism is as baneful in practice as it is in philosophy. The most effective means for oppressing the people would be simultaneously to enslave its body, its will and its reason." Pierre-Joseph Proudhon quoted by Max Nettlau, A Short History of Anarchism, pp. 43-44
"Why don't they teach proper maffs in schools? Why teach in kilos and grams when you should deal in ounces, quarters and eighths?" -- Ali G
the utterances of a. partridge
