Fremantle2026 June 7 (Sunday), 5:00PM Another article from Jake Orlowitz, this time about the Wikimedia Foundation "owning the ground" on which the Wikimedia movement is built. The Most Predictable Edit in History: The keeper, the Wikimedia Foundation, is a cathedral. It has officers and budgets and quarterly plans, and must make decisions that look defensible to donors and boards. It is built to coordinate and move with one voice. The tension between the bazaar that does the work and the cathedral that keeps the ground is perpetual, the condition of an institution that stewards a community it did not create and cannot replace. ← PreviousNext → My main RSS news feed: https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss(or Wikimedia.rss, Fremantle.rss, OpenStreetMap.rss, etc. for topic feeds).
