Me too. I thought the survey was very nice and interesting. And this
"controversy" is actually upsetting me. Somebody comes in and tries to do a
nice thing ($ to WMF, interesting exercise for volunteers, knowledge for
the world). You think people would be happy. No! Never! Analyze and nitpick

Hey, are there going to be matching donations this year? (ie. I donate $x
and somebody donates the same $x to match my contribution).
If yes, I am going to tell my friends to wait.

I think is is most excellent write-up of my thoughts. Wikipedia is no longer
"new and exciting"... Internet's attention span is short & people are
looking for something more exciting to do. (that and all the community

What to do about it?

Inside the book -- yes, plenty of indication about copying. But nothing to
warn you before you buy. People are buying these books tricked into thinking
it's an original content.

s published on a DVD -- I
have zero objections to that. I also know that the "book extension" to
mediawiki was added exactly for this purpose. But in this particular case I
think it's rather abusive.

that we ought to do something.
"Alphascript Publishing" has published over 1900 (and counting) books, all
available on Amazon. Prices range from $31 to $179. All of these books are
simple computer-generated copies from Wik
