Perhaps not, and some of the ideas may not be that practical, but  
learning through experience will occur. However the main expense is  
simply keeping up with the demands of the world reading, with a few  
trying to edit. We are now capable of handling usage of about 16,000  
users per million. I think the end demand (how often people at large  
will consult the fully developed encyclopedia) may be quite a bit  
higher.
