My thoughts on wikipedia (the short version):
- Needs complete ownership and control (including hardware/server) by Wikimedia Foundation (as a co-operative owned by contributors)
- Jimbo Wales needs to give up all ownership and control
- Much more accountability of administrators, Arbcom, Bureaucrats, Stewards, and Developers (i don't agree with "This should be no big deal") - see social class
- It should be recognised for being the democratic, international organisation that it is.

==quotes of the month:==
- “These guys exceeded even the emergency dive speed,” “It's off the chart.” - Boeing spokesperson on the last moments of United Airlines Flight 175 >[1]
- "Well, really. Let's get a grip here, shall we? True enough, they were civilians of a sort. But innocent? Gimme a break. They formed a technocratic corps at the very heart of America's global financial empire – the "mighty engine of profit" to which the military dimension of U.S. policy has always been enslaved – and they did so both willingly and knowingly."
- "If there was a better, more effective, or in fact any other way of visiting some penalty befitting their participation upon the little Eichmanns inhabiting the sterile sanctuary of the twin towers, I'd really be interested in hearing about it." - Both Ward Churchill - Some People Push Back: On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, September 12, 2001
- "I never knew in the course of all those operations any detainee to live through his interrogation. They all died. There was never any reasonable establishment of the fact that any one of those individuals was, in fact, cooperating with the VC, but they all died and the majority were either tortured to death or things like thrown out of helicopters."..."It (Phoenix) became a sterile depersonalized murder program... Equal to Nazi atrocities, the horrors of "Phoenix" must be studied to be believed." – Former Phoenix Program officer Bart Osborne, testifying before Congress in 1971
- "Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time."-John Lubbock
