[Foundation-l] It Is not Us

[KIZU Naoko]

+1 to Keegan. Different activities attract different thought of
people. Social interactivity of Wikimedia websites and beyond is one
of charms of Wikimedia movement, but it is a beneficial side effect of
the Movement, a necessary consequence of its collaborative production
to gather "the sum of the human knowledge" online for freely access.
Spreading online social network pleasure itself is no mission of
Wikimedia.

Also I'd like to join Thomas's insight statistics should be accurate
if we'd like to use on a basis of analysis. We cannot deduce a
meaningful thought from wrongly combined statistics.

Also on user consuming hours on the Web, I think it too much
hypothetical everyone uses the same amount of time on a given tool,
say, the Internet, which seems to me behind the stats mentioned.

Cheers,

Cheers,
