My poor German suffices to estimate that your translation was "close
enough", at least, but leaves one question open to my mind:  was this
meant as satire or was this in earnest?

Because if it's the latter, I'm really worried about the health of a
community that would actively bemoan greater democratization of a
project whose entire /raison d'etre/ was the democratization of knowledge.
