I wonder how well-informed you are on Wikipedia. Jimbo Wales typically
mentions a whole-planet view when he is interviewed. I would say that it is
a *given* in serious discussion of WP, that it is a vehicle to do just this;
if debates seem to be on 'knowledge' and 'implementation' it is because
there is less consensus on those.
Charles is right about everything, as is typical. :-)
NSK, people would probably appreciate it if you spent some time
learning about the community. Your input is certainly welcomed, but
the problem is that you have too often of late written comments that
are likely a bit frustrating to many people, because you haven't done
your homework.
"what is WMF's position on bringing free knowledge in the Third
World?"
Did you imagine that I would say "I'm against it?"
