It's kind of unclear what you're doing. What kind of censorship are you fighting against, the Chinese kind, or the Wikipedia Administrator kind?
From looking at their website, it's neither of the above. They are teaching people to circumvent [[content-control software]], the kind put in place by schools on their networks to restrict what pages students can see, for example.
Ah, rereading the message that's now pretty obvious. I guess that falls under "the Chinese kind", and I think my comment that there probably aren't a lot of people on here that need that kind of thing is probably still true.
I don't see why we would want to be associated with this at all. In fact, I think we would want to be disassociated with this. If schools or libraries or whatever choose to block Wikipedia, that's disappointing, but it's their choice. It won't do us any good to be associated with this type of project.
Well, to the extent that those schools or libraries are publicly funded I'm not sure I agree that it's strictly "their choice" (depends on who the "they" is), but I'm also not convinced that the decision is the wrong one.
