Authoritarial. Wikimarkup is not easily understood ? Presumably the millions of editors that built Wikipedia worked some of it out at some point. Do I detect someone trying to suggest that the time is over for the Pipedream of the "anarchic" operation of WP? That it's time for Wikpedia to "grow up" when it has already matured into something quite adult IMO. There's that word again ... "mature". At least he mentions the companies who aren't with us now, that said that WP could not survive without advertising. I appreciate some of Erik Moelle ideas but I fear things are cascading towards a Cathedral Model. I could be wrong, it may be just my own fears speaking ! But I think there is still a tendency for 1. "Experts" to take control saying that they are being beneficial ... 2. Users to become subjugated to those experts because "they know best". It's a sort of insidious drip drip effect. Are there enough people involved in the debate ? Why am I the only comment here? Maybe I'm missing where the discussion is ? DJ Barney Warning bells. Authoritarial.
