FYI, I'm saying that being a web developer myself.

It's so obvious that the articles are mostly edited by tech-savvy people. Wikipedia is meant to be objective and balanced, but inevitably that's not going to be 100% true when the demographics of wiki editors are so slanted.

I reckon it's pretty accessible to edit, but not to create new pages... Although everything I go to create a page about I later find already has a page :eek: Damn, dem nerds are fast! :p

Point well taken. Although even if it were as simple to edit as writing a message board post, you'll still have a problem of demographic bias. It is inevitable really...
