A person who demonstrates or practices optimism. An optimist looks for the positive side of a situation and anticipates the most positive outcome of a venture.
For example, an optimist might use an open Wiki to create a controlled and biased set of articles which present a narrow and disingenuous view of the world, and yet anticipate that this Wiki would not be used by people with a broader and more educated stance.
