[WikiEN-l] All of Wikipedia's Woes, in German

Spinning off the "decline of the community" thread, a Spiegel
journalist picks up on our internal debate and ties it in to Andrew
Lih's comments about deletionism.

(Fairly well-informed - note that the wikien-l post is actually being
linked to at the bottom!)

http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,511134,00.html

I provided a couple of charmingly pithy quotes for this, or rather I
rambled for a long while and then found I'd been converted into
charmingly pithy German (I wish I had actually said "Die niedrig
hängenden Früchte sind gepflückt", it sounds much better than the
English)

It's faintly surreal to see a German-language source deliberately
writing about *specifically* enwp.
