Should we focus outwards >toward the reading/viewing audience, or should we focus inwards towards the editors? It was settled early on that we are writing an encyclopedia. Before I started editing. What has happened since then? Well, we have had some divas on the site who have thought that we should focus on things that are basically all about them rather than the encyclopedia. And this has been a strategy partially successful in its own terms. But fundamentally I don't think such people have won the argument, however much harder they may have made it to see the "community" as primarily a working environment. That's what it remains, a highly interactive place in which to do voluntary work on an encyclopedia.
