Don't sweat it so much. Sure wikipedia has the
"goal" of being an
encyclopedia, but achieving that goal would be a disappointment, it would
become just another encyclopedia, something the world doesn't need. The
real goal of wikipedia should be to become what wiki techniques and
philosophy can achieve when it "tries" to become an encyclopedia. But it
shouldn't try so hard that it abandons the wiki approach that makes it
unique.
Wiki is only a means to an end, not an end unto itself. Without a product,
there is no purpose in what we are doing. But by using the methods we have been
using, we have started to redefine what an encyclopedia *can* be when there are
no size limits.
