I never said I wanted to be on the board. Anyway, free content has its advantages, but I don't see it as either realistic or even good for it to replace all other sorts of content in all situations.
I don't know. I bet a lot of people a few years ago would have said it wasn't realistic to create a free encyclopia that anyone could edit. Now I have my doubts as to whether or not free quality fiction will ever catch on, but fiction is rather outside the scope of Wikimedia, and if it were realistic I certainly think it'd be a good thing.
