Which really means that its important for all of us, every contributor,
to feel vested with responsibility. We are all responsible for oversight.
I agree. I think that the Cunctator is one person you have to watch like
a hawk, however, and he of all people has no moral right to say what he is
saying here.
The hosting of
Wikipedia I can continue to do for no charge for the
foreseeable future. Even if Wikipedia traffic were to grow by a
factor of 10, I would be willing to absorb all the bandwidth and
hardware costs. If it grows beyond a factor of 100 or 1000,
obviously, alternative solutions would have to be found.
Speaking of which, I think it would be great if we started thinking
about mechanisms for distributing the hosting of Wikipedia. Does
anyone have any thoughts on how a (to some degre) distributed solution
could work?
Frankly, this is hardly the time to bring this up. You have a lot more
pressing issues before you.
