The last book of Wikipedia was too fluffy. I prefer reality. Gritty, in the trenches, kick sand in your face, thumb wrestle to the death! Tabloid style.

I'd be all up for writing a wikibook introduction to Wikipedia. Anyone else interested? :)

This is what I consider to be the exact point for starting this
thread.
People truly do have no clue about how to edit or the community and
how it
functions. Actually, I don't think the functionality of the
community can
be described. Folks are amazed to be told that they can edit willy nilly, make an
account
and all that. For all our popularity worldwide the vast majority of
the
consumers have no idea (I realize I'm preaching to the choir) until
these
news stories invoke interest. So, what to do about it? How to not
bite?
This that and the other are great questions to mull over. I have
no
answers myself, Wikipedia just kind of happens.
