By the way, a citation published on a french site recently (an interview from Jimbo).
Jimbo says
"... nous souhaitons générer une version « stable » des articles, vérifiée et approuvée par des experts sur le sujet, tout en maintenant la possibilité de le modifier. Il est hors de question de demander aux bénévoles de faire le plus gros du travail, et de demander à un expert de peaufiner le rest."
Translation
"We wish to create a stable version of all articles, checked and approved by experts on the topic, whilst keeping the option of modification of the article. It is excluded to ask volunteers to do most of the bulk work, and to ask to an expert to just take care of the polishing".
"We wish to create a stable version of all articles, checked and approved by the community, using a process which meets or exceeds the quality level of traditional encyclopedias. Such a process should involve people with expertise, of course, but it would not be acceptable for us to take the attitude that "ah, thank you to the volunteers, but now we have experts to come in and finish the job". Rather, we seek to extend our community process in new ways over time, always remaining open to new ideas for higher quality."
