It just didn't occur to me, sitting at my computer, that I would end up travelling all over the world.

Dialing down is not an option for me.

I have no regular schedule. I get up whenever I can.

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

I still believe there is a need to open up search and it will come eventually. It is very important to challenge the current models.

The core community is passionate about quality and getting it right. If you want to read some good criticisms of Wikipedia, probably the best place to go is to the Wikipedia article called 'criticisms of Wikipedia'... It was either the dumbest thing or the smartest thing I ever did. The dumbest thing for the obvious reasons, but the smartest thing because I don't think it could have had nearly as much impact as it has. One of the key things that inspired people to put a lot into it (was the charity aspect).

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