I do not agree. There are more types of people
in the world than
Wikipedians and people whose "first inclination" is "money or
power".
As a fine example, consider Eben Moglen, longtime attorney and board
member for the Free Software Foundation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eben_Moglen
Eben would bring a wealth of experience to our board, and anyone who
imagines that his motives for taking part in this would be "money or
power" simply does not know Eben and his long history.
Excellent! So when are we drafting him? :-D
Heh, he is just one random example, there are many like him.
Is he interested? If not, then he's not a good example. If so, then
why doesn't he start participate on the mailing lists, and become
involved in the community? Note that Brian said "with no editing
experience and no involvement in the community", not just "not a
Wikipedian".
