If Zed's article means someone at the Wikimedia Foundation finally understands the problem, fantastic!

First thing you do, please kill all of the rules lawyers (and maybe get some machine learning in there to clean up spam and pause edit wars, rather than relying on fallible humans with obvious agendas).

Till then, one can only hope that Zed's fork of Wikipedia gives it an incentive to move in an inclusionist direction. Perhaps a fork oriented around Facebook Connect, such that people edit with their real names and have property rights over their pages (Knol hasn't really properly executed on the idea, though it's been around for a while).

   I'm pretty sure next year when Wikipedia start asking for donations I'm going to come out strong and campaign against them.

Wikimedia person, you guys do a lot of A/B testing of your donation pages. Why not put something in there asking how many donors actually favor deletionism? I think you'll be surprised how many people have been turned off by it.

Just include it all and let search (and writer reputation) sort it out.
