I don't agree with much of this critique, and I certainly do not share the attitude that Wikipedia is better than Britannica merely because it is free. It is my intention that we aim at Britannica-or-better quality, period, free or non-free. We should strive to be the best.
"It is my intention that we aim at Britannica-or-better quality, period, free or non-free." Geez, watch what you say. Before I noticed who made the statement I took it to mean that you don't care if we're free or non-free.
Right. And here I am complaining about bad writing. :-)
No, what I mean is, I will never accept that we should use freeness as an excuse for sucking. We want to be free *and* better than Britannnica.
