 Hi Xiong 

 You say:

 Well, you just re-descovered what the early sages understood all the way when they invented words like ""intelligence"". This word comes from the latin ""inter"" (which can be translated in english as both ""among"" and ""between"", but between in the sense of ""friedship between us"" and not like in ""the space between the trees""), and ""legere"" which can also be translated in several ways like ""to gather"" and ""to select"", but ""to select"" like ""all 10 were selected"" and not like in ""i had to sellect between them"". Even further down the etymology road of ""legere"" there's the Greek ""legein"" which can be translated in english as ""to gather"". 
 The very process of intelligence was very well understood - and exemplary synthesized in a word - by those ancient minds that created the word for it: to make conections between things. This is the trye-to-its-histor meaning of the word ""intelligence"", and this is what you discovered also. 

 PS 
 As an almost hilary note, if you'll try to look for the meaning of the word ""intelligence"" in english dictionaries you will occasionally find definitions that try to go back to its roots, but once it gets there, just about all explanations stumble into ""making the right choice between"". Which is exactly what such a definition of ""intelligence"" didn't do -)) They chose the wrong english interpretation for both ""legere"" (they took it to be ""to selecte"" like in ""select between"") and ""inter"" (they took it like in ""space between the trees"" instead of ""friendhip between us""), and those definition come up with the definition ""intelligenec = to make the right choice"" (which is obviously idiotic since there is no moral aspect involved in defining the word ""intelligence"" (linke in their ""the *right* choice"")

 You say you strongly believe there's nothing to be done to save Wikipedia. 
 I *almost* concur with you, especially for as long as narrow-minded self-sufficient-looking individuals like  have any word to say on it. However, there is one thing that people like you and me can do: we can accelerate it's destruction. Just like (i'd guess) you and I were one of those seed-of-exponential-exposure-growth, we can now do the same to advocate its destruction. 
 IMHO there's ONE SINGLE BIG PROBLEM with this project, but it's at the top level: It's not run by Stallman and The Gang. Well, wanna join in trying to bring him on board and do the real thing this time? 
 Heck, think about it this way: Every single person that we would like to join our effort will join based on like-mindedness, and they (obviously) still have every article they posted on wikipedia, as for the ones that will consider idiotic an effort to build the real thing (as we thought in the beginning wikipedia should be), well we don't need them.
