You know I just don’t get wikipedia. People who contribute to the world in real ways have a difficult time getting recognized. If they aren’t recognized there where will they be? What is significant and to whom. Rob Levin Lilo the leader of Freenode just died. THEY..the wikipedians have decided he is not ‘worthy’ to have an article. To them perhaps Freenode is insignificant to the geek community is it like a giant coffee shop with over 1000 rooms that is full of conversation the human neural network of the network. Where real information flows in real time. It is hugely significant if not seen every day by the wider web of the wikipedians. We should honor good people who do good work. It is those who toil away quietly in the background for the greater good that deserve recognition because they are significant.
