Five years from now:
Finally animated versions of all board members are available, to read any mediawiki text to you aloud. New gestures coming soon. Whenever you whisper 'wikimedia' your favourite board member pops up, and asks you where you would have liked to go yesterday, if yesterday would have been today (a workaround, so long as a copyright infringement lawsuit is still pending). Out of sheer mockery the animated board member does his/hers best to impersonate a paperclip.
A well-known software vendor also experiments with an animated text reader for its very multimediocre encyclopaedia. The character has a short beard, and sometimes stops in the middle of a sentence, turns his eyes towards the future and murmurs "Free Willy". A patch has been announced that changes this to "Free Mandela". Out of even sheerer mockery hackers replace the character with a semi-nude guy carrying a globe on his shoulder with all kinds of funny symbols on it.
