Hoi, Key in my mind is that this is a project of the Israeli chapter. These other organisations are cooperating by growing OUR content. The fact that there are other organisations involved is not that important to me. The fact that they collaborate and realise our commons goal is.
Given that my point of view is substantially different from yours you "ass u me d" that I did not have a look. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard,
Did you even check things before you are shouting? The first English page on the pikiwiki website say's
"This project is a joint venture of the Israel Internet Association (ISOC-IL), the Israeli Wikimedia chapter and the Center for Educational Technology (CET) as part of promoting the concept of free content on the Web" (source: http://www.pikiwiki.org.il/index.php?action=content&id=21)
The userpage say's "Pikiwiki is a joint initiative of Wikimedia Israel (WM-IL), the Israel Internet Association (ISOC-IL) and the Center for Educational Technology aiming at collecting free-licensed images of special interest, related to Israel, from the Israeli public."
On the metapage you can find a complete list with all organisation that join this project. ( http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Israel_free_image_collection_projec... )
This pretty much proofs you didn't check anything before you give your opinion
Hoi, As far as I am aware this is a project of the Israeli chapter and as such you are wrong. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, I would argue that any of the WMF chapters and its projects should be
seen
as our "own". When this is not accepted it means that Commons is
indeed an
island with the drawbridge closed. Truly reconsider because this hurts
us as
an organisation. We are not divided by chapters we are organised with chapters as our representative. Thanks, GerardM
Pikiwiki is _not_ a chapter, it is an independent third party project. (Or did I get it wrong?)
