I think David Fuchs has (on multiple occasions) done it all in less than one - and I like to think I actually give something to work on (hopefully Lar can attest to that!).<BR/><BR/>Anyways, yay! I enjoyed reading it! :)Giggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13810802528145463161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7771267910183057352.post-47297077914311956232008-05-18T20:03:00.000-04:002008-05-18T20:03:00.000-04:00congrat.s to mrs. lar!

(or perhaps I shall henceforth refer to you as Mr Epousesquecido - at least until your next GA!)<BR/><BR/>It's always good to remember that most of wikipedia works really well. It's also interesting to point out how little effect most of the internal chit chat has on the project as a whole - which I believe to be actually led by people like Epousequecido working away in a fun and rewarding fashion in their own areas of interest.<BR/><BR/>I've got my own take on what that means for wikipedia's 'governance' and where it might go from here, which I can't really explain in one comment - but I see the problem as one of scale - the potential to cause harm has scaled along with the rest of the project, and its not really fair to say 'yebbut the project does pretty well over all.....' - certainly not to anyone so harmed!<BR/><BR/>Wikipedia needs to build confidence that its systems are self-correcting / capable of positive change - I'm an optimist to the degree that I hope a 'drip drip drip' approach can erode the mountain of inertia - but I certainly don't take responsibility for how wikipedia is today. Maybe that's part of the problem..... does anyone?private musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536508647485425250noreply@blogger.com
