Según reconoce en su propio weblog, Jimmy Wales, el fundador de Wikipedia, este invento necesita ayuda. Según se desprende del mensaje, esta ayuda no se debe a los recientes problemas de contenidos, sino que, por lo que alcanzo a entender, de lo que se trata es de evitar que una fórmula realmente revolucionaria pueda morir de su propio éxito. La apelación de Wales tiene un tono claramente personal. Sirvan como muestra de ello estos dos de sus últimos párrafos:
I can’t speak for everyone, but I can speak for myself. I’m doing this for the child in Africa who is going to use free textbooks and reference works produced by our community and find a solution to the crushing poverty that surrounds him. But for this child, a website on the Internet is not enough; we need to find ways to get our work to people in a form they can actually use.
And I’m doing this for my own daughter, who I hope will grow up in a world where culture is free, not proprietary, where control of knowledge is in the hands of people everywhere, with basic works they can adopt, modify, and share freely without asking permission from anyone.
