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,

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.

This pretty much proofs you didn't check anything before you give your
opinion
