Totally disagree with you, Yaroslav.
Do you really think a traditional (you know, traditional in Wikipedia equivalent to
bureaucratic) communication and social system, friendship-free, at wikis reduces the
efficiency? Why the friendship and camaraderie in editions and talk should reduce the
efficiency of quality? Why working in a pleasant ambiete worse results. I think economists
and business-men disagree with you.
For your e-mail I found that you are probably Russian. You probably have read Tolstoi,
Anna KarĂȘnina. Using a literary example, Lievin, the landowner, greatly increased his
profit by changing the method of work of his moujiks. The moujiks used to work in bad
taste and bad-tempered when just followind orders in a bad envronment. When Lievin adopted
a collaborative approach, when the moujiks could work without the several rules at a
amicable environment, profits rose.
For Wikis is the same thing. Only the ideals are not enough. We have to have a friendly, a
pleasant, a nice environment. We've to make the time of editions a good time to us.
We've to smile editing Wikipedia. And know our work is important to the community,
moral support. Wikilove make Wikipedia less a obligation and more a thing which we need
every single day. This is the point.

Subject: Re: [Foundation-l] Show community consensus for Wikilove
When I spoke ''family'' I wanted
to say we need a more likable system of
communication. We need a real collaborative method, which not only fit
for
the editions, but for the treatment of users too.
We're a big family
working for a common objective: a world in which every single human
being
can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
Why we treat ourselves like co-workes when we have so many things in
common? Why we have to be a firm when we could be friends who works
together for the common good? Why not reduce the unnecessary bureaucracy
among the editors communication with Wikilove? It's just a way to make
the
Wikimedia projects friendly and really
collaborative!
Just because often it contradicts efficiency. Some people come here to
make friends, other come to have the job done (some of them have an agenda,
and others just want indeed to increase the sum of knowledge). For me
personally, making friends sounds like opposite to efficiency, because I
care about quality first. I see from the discussions that there are people
like me. I also know there are many people unlike me, for whom the
collaborative aspect is more important than the result. This is fine with
me. I just do not want any universal decisions to be made under assumptions
that we are all alike. We are not.
Cheers
Yaroslav
