Of course, use of the various wiki projects is easy, but I wish contributors
in general would first ask themselves, "Do I have the knowledge of and
expertise in this subject to make a worthwhile contribution or am I just
indulging my ego". Sadly, the answer often seems to be "no" to the former
and "yes" to the latter. Look at the mess the Wikipedia Buddhism article
has become. I used to contribute, but have completely washed my hands of
it. Too many big-headed, uninformed morons who have no respect for others
!
Also I noticed an article recently discussing Wikipedia with the founder.
Apparently Wikipedia is at a crisis point -- too many of the older
contributors and editors have left for the same kind of reasons as myself.
So, naturally, good luck with the Tipitaka Wiki -- but I hope history
doesn't repeat itself.
Best wishes,
