Name same as username. I am fascinated by Wikipedia which arised like a miracle. In the beginning critical voices told it would never reach the status of a Brockhaus or a Britannica. Now most of the reading and writing coevals can't imagine their life whithout.

I am even more interested in the movement behind: what is symptomatic for the modern society and economy - and could it be or partially be an ideal model? I am not an author in Wikipedia - but a keen user and propagator of it as well as of free content in general.

Besides I was engaged in the Free Money Movement for ten years, which has parallels at least in the vision of a society of free and educated individuals. I am very proud to be elected as a board member of Wikimedia CH this year 2013 and will do my level best to help the organisation growing in a sustainable and stabile way.
