Cory Doctorow just tried to raise his hand, interrupt and ask a question, but the speaker didn't notice him at all.
From the slideshow: How can such a large community scale? Through software features. Through policy (mediation, arbitration). Through an atmosphere of love and respect.
Why is Wikipedia not just complete chaos? A lot of features in the software make it easy to assure quality. Diff pages (changes are lighlighted in red); rules/laws are done in free form by the community and not implemented in code, eg the votes for deletion process as a wiki page which allows for discretion on the part of an administrator; the free license, because users of Wikipedia content have to link back.
Neutral point of view policy: A social concept of co-operation. ‘Truth’ is not a very practical standard, so Wikipedia presents both sides of an issue (or multiple sides). NPOW is a very nice tool for getting some work done.
Jimbo Wales is up now and going through Wikipedia.
“When they say blogs aren't fact-checked, they're full of shit.”
Jason's message: Don't sell out. Once a prostitute, always a prostitute. Gizmodo example with Siemens/Cebit.
The morning started off with breakfast, followed by keynotes by Doc Searls and Robert Scoble. Interesting q&a afterwards with questions from Hugh MacLeod and Ben Hammersley.
Jason to a lawyer: “I'm blogging this as we're talking!”
