My view is that good community management is like having good municipal government: You should be able to have dissenting opinions and so on, freedom of speech, but your grandmother should also be able to walk down the street at night without having to worry about getting mugged.

I spent lots of time reading the encyclopedia and really kind of an eclectic approach to learning things - not very structured.

Massive numbers of people are going to come online from cultures we don't normally interact with.

Most people are good. They may not be saints, but they are good.

The goal is to give people a free encyclopedia to every person in the world, in their own language. Not just in a 'free beer' kind of way, but also in the free speech kind of way.

While I'm optimistic about the direction the world is headed, generally, I think there is a need for constant vigilance and pressure on repressive governments.

I think people have to recognise that the traditional modes of authority weren't that great.
