On Dutch TV on 7th April there was a 50 minute documentary by IJsbrand Van Veeren about our own favorite cult of amateurs - Wikipedia.

The film has been uploaded to Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMSinyx_Ab0 .

I personally think that it is inspirational about how the project was conceived and how we move forward without losing our original aims.

i concur! having seen it on dutch tv myself, i think it comes pretty close to a critical npov, showing several points of view next to one another in such a way that, if taken seriously, it can in the long run only help improve what we are working on together.

I finally had a chance to watch this, and I quite enjoyed it. Unfortunately it took the typical documentary route of allowing the "protagonists" to discuss the issue without any sort of background information.

This debate needs to happen, but I don't think this is the proper format.
