Yep, it's good.

Side note, but one of the things I really liked about the Truth In
Numbers documentary was the face it gave to the Wikimedia movement. It
was really lovely to see dozens (hundreds?) of people from around the
world -- multiple ethnicities, accents, locations. I don't know how
representative those people actually were/are of the general editor
population, but seeing them was inspiring nonetheless.

Thanks,
