Unfortunately, Blue, getting "there" whatever that means, is going to mean lots of changes that cause the same problems you all fight for, and get into battles over. (I avoid, intentially). Which as ADK says, often makes projects like this fail, or make other people bail.

That said, the wiki will, if it really wants to be serious, need to decide what that means. It's one thing to say "we have a mission statement", it's another for that mission statement to mean anything. Half our articles are pure crap. 1/3 of our articles are ok, but they don't really say anything other than "wiki pedia light", and those few gems that really say "THIS IS RATIONAL WIKI" (like gold brain articles) are 10? 100? so so few.

But what do you focus on? making articles more factual? making articles more informative? making articles more critical? All the funny one liners get stripped from good articles, cause they sorta lessen the impact, but then you say "wait, now it's back to wiki light'.

It's going to be painful, i suspect. But at the same time, something great to be part of, i think.
