My point is that we are seriously considering the
viability of the "open" model. That bothers me a lot.

Why don't we adopt a methodology more like

Oh, I remember, because this is a WIKI!
Your point? Wikipedia has demonstrated that,
quantitavely, it is a viable alternative to
Britannica but qualitatively it is a *long way* from
being its superior. The same goes for Encarta. A
certain modesty would be appropriate I would have
thought, particularly in view of the ongoing
problems with we have trolls, vandals, POV-pushers,
and all-round morons, which, in my mind, seriously
brings into question the viability of the "open"
model as it is currently implemented...
