Dawn's insight is probably more spot on than any of us would like to admit. Though her final paragraph is also worth considering. No matter how silly the scuffles we do find a way to move the conversation forward. There is something to that.

Here's how one outsider sees us. Not a very attractive picture, I'm afraid.

There have been on and off rumors of the Wikipedia folks getting into search, if they managed to pull it off it would be fantastic. But I'll believe it when I see it.

Hey thanks for the note. My oversight entirely. And thank you for noticing that the main polemic continues to go unaddressed by most of the commenters. ;P

Andrew I linked back to your blog and I linked to Jason's blog. I didn't link to Mahalo.

Interesting. I would suggest that you were trying to act as a point of reason with this post, and take a journalistic approach, but clearly your linking practices (for deciding to link to Mahalo and not Rocketboom), is the sign that your NOT taking a journalistic stance, but rather taking a sides on a political platform.

Thus, your argument broke down for me and I became disinterested in reading any further. . .

Interesting point. I didn't know that about the head butting between Jason & Andrew.

Another human based search engine is ChaCha.com. They just 10mil in funding.
However I have heard that the CEO/founder of wikipedia is looking to get involved with the search engine market.

Already most of the results from google include a link to wikipedia within the 1st page. So there is a market out there for wikipedia to get involved with.
