I'm with you on not trusting those people. Forrester's is worse than worthless. Is there ANYONE at the WMF who isn't? Original MediaWiki developers like Tim Starling and Brion Vibber aren't total assholes and can actually code. Wikipedia would not exist today if not for them. Ultimately it will not...
