Thank you! Exactly my point. But I would not support any fork - all editing 
goes onto Wikipedia. I have not advocated /any/ change to Wikipedia other 
than agree with Erik on his idea. I /have/ advocated dramatic changes to 
Nupedia.

Read my lips; No new no fork.

Perhaps we need a Wikimedia mailing list because I was talking about a way to 
revive Nupedia which is a Wikimedia project, BTW.

And the Linux volunteer free software coders are harmed by GNU/Linux 
distributors?

The Linux kernel has its own stable/unstable configuration and so do the 
distributors. Both work together to create a better product.
