I have to say I agree with Jimbo on this one. I was
thinking about
Wikipedia in the future for a while and I think we have to be careful
where we go from here. Think about it, Wikipedia started out with a
simple vision: a free encyclopedia where anyone could edit anything.
Now, sysops, developers etc are getting more power, anons less
trusted, and there is talk of paying developers. If we're not
cautious, we could end up just like a conventional online
encyclopedia. Sort of like the way animal farm went :-/.
I think we should try and preserve the original idea of Wikipedia (and
Wikimedia projects in general).
