Hi. First podcast I’ve listened to. I’m very impressed. I have decided to spend this week, rather than editing, trying to get a broader overview of Wikipedia and learn more about what’s going on behind the scenes. This, along with Signpost, will help me a great deal. I shall be going back to listen to previous episodes. Good work.

Very interesting podcast with an incredible number of people on board – impressive to make that work.
I was wondering whether you had seen Jimmy Wales’ blog post on the BBC’s Digital Revolution open source documentary where he defends the notion of elitism within Wikipedia. I’d be interested in your opinion of that. Does Jimmy speak for all Wikipedians in that statement?

Like the other commentators, I just discovered this podcast and was favorably impressed. I’m still not up on the schedule though – its been three weeks since the last podcast, which hardly makes it “weekly”. Looking at the posting dates of previous podcasts, it looks like you’ve gone this long or longer between episodes before. Looking forward to the next one.
