- Aaron, I disagree with the implied criticism. We have every bit of openness that matters and that is worth the name. I don't think that our failure to be open to anonymity and people who disagree with our policies really counts against our openness. We are a remarkably open project, compared to most academic projects. Wikipedia feels like a much more closed project than CZ, to me, not just because of the cliquishness, but because it is so completely off-putting to people who take personal responsibility and the rule of law (rather than of the mob) seriously. --Larry Sanger 22:56, 14 October 2007 (CDT)
- ...Actually, I wasn't criticizing it. I've always thought that quality should take precedence. Aaron Schulz 23:02, 14 October 2007 (CDT)
- No worries. But even if it wasn't meant as a criticism, the thought itself bothers me. Openness is the engine that makes wikis and other such projects run. If we aren't open, we aren't going anywhere. --Larry Sanger 08:13, 16 October 2007 (CDT)
