It seems that people are lately getting suspicious of Jimbos intentions. There are many people, at least I have heard from and of many, that are not too certain that Jimbos stated goals at Wikipedia (free information) and Wikia (a for-profit company) are compatible. Of course, Jimbo has to live and make a living and I don't have any problem. However, it might be time to seperate his duties at Wikipedia and Wikia and cut all ties they may have. I would welcome such a move, however don't believe it to be absolutely necessary.
Would such a move benefit Wikipedia? I doubt it. If we had to choose between Jimbo and Angela working on both projects, or working only on Wikia, we would be crazy to choose the latter.
