Jimbo hasn't had a bright idea in his entire life. Nothing he's done reflects an original thought on his part. Nupedia wasn't his idea; neither was Wikipedia. He takes the credit, but the ideas came from someone else.
No, Jimbo's intended purpose for this council is to give him ideas that he will then adopt as his own and run with, because he's incapable of coming up with them on his own.
I have to disagree with this. We may need to get Danny Wool or maybe even Terry Foote to weigh in, but I have to believe that someone as crafty and sneaky as Jimbo Wales -- at some time in his life -- has had a bright idea that he then communicated effectively to at least someone.
This thread shall remain open for nominations, then we can put it to a poll to select the "best" bright idea resulting from original thought... if there are any that survive the vetting process here.
