"In dotCommunist Ew Ork, Aris, and Ome, Wikipedia disrupts you!"

Suggestion: Set the sights a little higher, and I'd say start by
ditching the "disruption" metaphor, which is fine and good for firms,
but less sensible in a landscape that's already massively and
"organically" distributed (I'm thinking of the free culture movement
as a whole).  If the rhetorical question is "how to build a better
encyclopedia?" or "how to further the WMF's mission?" -- here's
something: how about some specific and well-thought out proposals and
a way to discuss them that doesn't devolve to some sort of punditry
pissing contest?  Like, a UserVoice-style feedback system (instead of
this: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bugzilla#Requesting_a_feature) and
clear way to keep track of project and subproject progress (Redmine?),
including a way to make sense of the priorities and other trends that
govern progress on the current set of open bugs
(https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=status%3Aopen).

In real simple terms, know thyself!
