[edit] Wikipedia philosophy

I am a wikidemocrat. I believe that there is no "right" or "wrong" way to write a free encyclopedia. Neither common sense or good judgment are the single preserve of an elite group of editors. As such, wherever there is a controversial decision about which intelligent people can disagree in good faith and with good reasons, the route that should be followed is the will of the majority. Fundamentally, I trust the judgment of ordinary people.

[edit] Software Freedom

I am a very strong believer in software freedom. Through my journeys I have discovered a change in how people use and ultimately depend on computers where the level of knowledge to perform common tasks such as setting up a wireless network and to install software has become wide-spread. This is because people see the potential of computers and they would like to learn about them as they use them. -incomplete-
