Frankly, and let me be blunt, Wikipedia as a readable product is not for us. It's for them. It's for that girl in Africa who can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around her, but only if she's empowered with the knowledge to do so.

Freedom, liberty, individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a matter that is not initiating force against them, is critical to me.

There's kind of this real social pressure to not argue about things.

Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.

I have always viewed the mission of Wikipedia to be much bigger than just creating a killer website. We're doing that of course, and having a lot of fun doing it, but a big part of what motivates us is our larger mission to affect the world in a positive way

A lot of people who work on open-source software don't mind making money elsewhere. They aren't anticommercial.

Everybody tells jokes, but we still need comedians.
