IIAB for the US market
by James Heilman 18 Feb '26

18 Feb '26

Hey All We at Wiki Project Med have paused further shipping of IIAB to the USA due to tariff processes. We were getting about 80 US orders for IIAB per month. We continue to ship to the rest of the world. Basically we charged about 20 USD for assembly, managing postage, and shipping resulting in a total cost of 63 USD per unit. Wondering if there are folks in the USA interested in getting involved and managing that aspect? The boards come from the UK which sounds like it is tariff free but the uSD cards come from China which is at 55% tariffs. So we are still at the investigative stages on what makes sense.

I'll host a workshop this Friday at 17h UTC+2 during which I will present the first sketches propositions of the tool. Please join to talk about it, criticize, propose changes, push for some features over others, and so on. 👉 *Register to the sketches workshop here : *https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:VIZWP_24_10_2025 IF YOU CAN NOT join the event (or do not want to), please have a look directly at the sketches proposed and give a feedback about each proposition.

The project helps visualize these knowledge gaps, supports communities in improving content on this important topic, facilitates collaboration among multilingual communities and partners, and strengthens the capacity of Wikipedia contributors to document and share information on climate change (as well as sustainability and SDGs). In practice, in collaboration with Wikimedia projects focused on sustainability and climate change,*the initiative will produce a visual tool*that allows users to evaluate and monitor the quality and quantity of articles related to sustainability and climate change on Wikipedia across different languages. In the long run, the tool is expected to serve beyond the specific « Climate change » topic ;) The projet is developped as part of a research project, promoted by SUPSI, funded by the SNSF, with the patronage ofWikimedia Italia <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Italia>.
