There's a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily.

One of the ways that Microsoft beat Apple way back in the day was that they were a lot more open; today, in the world I come from, the free software and open-source world, Microsoft is not generally viewed as open; they're viewed as proprietary.

The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.

I'm a big advocate of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of thought.

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 have always liked the idea of going to print because a big part of what we are about is to disseminate knowledge throughout the world and not just to people who have broadband.
