I very much agree on one of the points "Thought nine: concentration on 
the basic articles".

Now that we are fairly well-known, it reflects pretty badly when one 
very-basic level article is missing. When we participate to conferences 
and talk to people, there is always someone to tell us that "I love 
Wikipedia, but frankly, the article on [[agriculture]] really sucks. 
That's a shame, this is just such an obvious article available in any 
encyclopedia" (with "Agriculture" just an example).

Good doc Lennart
