[Search wiki] Mandate

[Jimmy Wales]

Rainer, I hear you.

I wanted to let things be super fluid at first because I don't assume 
that I'm the smartest guy around, and I wanted to let some creativity 
flourish, some experimentation.  But yes, in the end, I also need to be 
here to help coalesce the community's decisions into some core policies.

Not sure what is wrong with the footer links... but even with those 
fixed, there's a lot more to be said.
