[Foundation-l] WSJ on Wikipedia

[William Pietri]

A reporter pal points out to me that the  Wall Street Journal has a 
front page story on Wikipedia: "Volunteers Log Off as Wikipedia Ages". 
Alas, it's subscriber-only:

There's also a publicly viewable blog article "Is Wikipedia Too 
Unfriendly to Newbies?", and an interview with their reporters:

http://online.wsj.com/video/news-hub-wikipedia-volunteers-quit/BB9E24E7-2A18-4762-A55E-4D9142975029.html

I suspect it's nothing we haven't been talking about for a while, but if 
anybody with access has a chance to summarize the main points, I'd find 
that helpful in replying to the friends who will inevitably be asking 
about this. If not because of this article, then from the other 
reporters that I presume will be joining in shortly.
