<< The NGO world of which the Wikimedia Foundation is now part uncannily follows Marx’s prediction that the middle class would devise an infinite number of ways of enriching themselves, while ensuring the proletariat, the volunteers at the Wiki-face, don’t share the riches.

The post made some good arguments until it through this in. I have sympathy for the editors on wikipedia who make nothing for their toil, but it is, after all, their choice to do so, for many different reasons. So, please don't make this into a story about oppressive victimhood. Perhaps changes to the wiki governance or even an alternative model. But Marx doesn't bring a whole lot of credibility to the discussion.
