Wishes 2014

Another year, the 11th Wikimania... What should the future bring?

You may not have a LOT of time. But you certainly have ONE minute.

Without giving it too much thought, please share the FIRST wish that comes to your mind for the coming year, regarding our projects and helping the world become a better informed & educated place. In keeping with tradition, no more than two sentences. (For longer thoughts and wishes, see strategy project.)
