Hier der wesentliche Absatz, der soweit ich es beurteilen kann in die gleiche Richtung wie Ulis Kritik geht:
"Wikipedia became what it is today because, having been seeded with great people with a fairly clear idea of what they wanted to achieve, we proceeded to make a /series of free decisions/ that determined the policy of the project and culture of its supporting community. Wikipedia's system is neither the only way to run a wiki, nor the only way to run an open content encyclopedia. Its particular conjunction of policies is in no way natural, "organic," or necessary. It is instead artificial, a result of a series of /free/ choices, and we could have chosen differently in many cases; and choosing differently on some issues might have led to a project /better/ than the one that exists today."
Eigentlich kann ich dem Text bisher nur zustimmen. Was man daraus für Schlußfolgerungen zieht, was zu tun sein, ist natürlich etwas anderes - da gehen die Meinungen auseinander!
Ich bin schon gespannt auf die Fortsetzung.
