Hoi,
High priority is in the eyes of the beholder.. I want the quality of
Wikipedia to improve [1] and have a plan how to achieve that in a
measurable way. For me it seems that quality has no priority even though
the problem I address is real enough and even though there have not been
any flaws discovered in my reasoning. Your proposal is too abstract for me
and consequently I do not understand why it should have a priority.

Also there is plenty of money to go around.
Thanks,
      GerardM
