An Interesting Entry
Kami Huyse admits that she's following Jimbo Wales' instructions by making a post at Talk: Mobile home. After a couple of days of silence, I made a post over at the Village Pump. I'll be watching to see what happens.
I know there are many Wikipedians who would be eager to be paid for working on Wikipedia; I've had a few admit this. Keep in mind that they aren't saying they will post anything to Wikipedia for enough money: they want to be paid for writing the kind of material that they are currently writing for free. If a business respects that we have ethics and a concept of best practices, that company will find a motivated -- and skilled -- pool of labor eager to work for them.
