Before I’d commit to anything, I’d like to know:

• 1. Who owns the content?
• 2. Who’s making money and how much of it?
• 3. Can I take my content and reputation elsewhere?
• 4. Can someone else take my content and reputation elsewhere?
• 5. What are the controls limiting freeloading and abusive behavior?

Wikipedia was set up as foundation, providing clear answers to 1 and 2. Usenet was an effort of internet community that was destroyed by 4 (Dejanews and Google Groups) and 5.

I cannot endorse supporting any kind of initiative that pretends to be a community without being transparent about these matters. Without that, the operators of the website just expect free labor from volunteers who are filling someone else’s coffers. The world would be a better place with these volunteers volunteering where it matters.
