In a pilot, a test case is one that helps stress the capabilities of the process or system/services that are being tested. These should be selected for maximum controversy and to follow up decisively on proof of concept progress:

  • Ending Wikimedia and forcing Bomis to disavow itself of any involvement with Wikipedia would be an excellent test case that would prove the ability of online scrutiny to eventually force changes to some power structure, even a trivial power structure. Since trolls already drove off the former Chief Editor Larry Sanger it seems entirely reasonable that they could actually drive off Wales as well, capitalism and its tendency to let usurpers claim to own things, notwithstanding. The Reds may be especially prone to helping out here.
