Could they sue the foundation if they deem the placement not to be "charter" enough? If not them, how about a company purchasing them?
No, they could not.
Frankly, and let me be blunt, Wikipedia as a readable product is not for us. It's for them. It's for that girl in Africa who can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around her, but only if she's empowered with the knowledge to do so.
Let me be just as blunt, I think that's a fairy tale and unlikely to happen.
Ok, but that's what I've devoted my life to doing. :-)
On the other hand, there is no reason why we couldn't start on Wikipedia 1.0, and I've yet to see that get off the ground.
Indeed... if we had the resources to do it, we could do it. But we don't, so it keeps getting pushed to the back burner.
I'd much rather see the resources dedicated here, which will actually make it more useful for people everywhere.
Well, that's a very interesting point, and I don't necessarily disagree with you. But the point is, resources are needed desperately in order to achieve our goals.
