Hier der wesentliche Absatz, der soweit ich es beurteilen kann in die 
gleiche Richtung wie Ulis Kritik geht:

"Wikipedia became what it is today because, having been seeded with 
great people with a fairly clear idea of what they wanted to achieve, we 
proceeded to make a /series of free decisions/ that determined the 
policy of the project and culture of its supporting community. 
Wikipedia's system is neither the only way to run a wiki, nor the only 
way to run an open content encyclopedia. Its particular conjunction of 
policies is in no way natural, "organic," or necessary. It is instead 
artificial, a result of a series of /free/ choices, and we could have 
chosen differently in many cases; and choosing differently on some 
issues might have led to a project /better/ than the one that exists today."

Eigentlich kann ich dem Text bisher nur zustimmen. Was man daraus für 
Schlußfolgerungen zieht, was zu tun sein, ist natürlich etwas anderes - 
da gehen die Meinungen auseinander!

Ich bin schon gespannt auf die Fortsetzung.
