Hi there, I am now working on Japanese version and I love this year FAQ. Generally it put a straightfoward message in clear expressions. I found however a line which I cannot understand and would like you to share how you have taken it. That is the last line of Section 11 as one of organizational goals
# Increase distribution beyond Wikipedia
What means "beyond Wikipedia"? Wikipedia in the other forms than on-line? Or its sibling projects? What means "increase distributions"?
Thanks for your input in advance, Cheers,

I asked Rand about it:
(4:46:57 PM) Rand Montoya: sibling projects is the right interpretation
Rand is incorrect. It refers to distribution in formats such as books, DVDs, USB sticks, laptops, mobile, and so on.
