In the Wiki movement the Wikimedia Foundation,

equally important to reach out and recognise the

and projects play.
When you call it the "Wikimedia movement" and invoke trademark rules to
exclude, as a movement it will be limited. Its potential relevance
limited.
It is for this reason that I suggest to be
clearly inclusive or
exclusive.
When we choose to be exclusive, there is still
room for a wiki movement,
it
saddens me that the "Wikimedia
movement" will be as a consequence less
relevant in this wiki movement.
I think that the situation is complex. We have a
need to make wider
movement, while we didn't solve problems in our house. So, maybe the
time is to make something which wouldn't pretend to call itself as a
"movement", but to make communication between different organized
groups inside of Wikimedia better, as well as their presentation to
outsiders. When we put it at the legs, we would be able to think about
free knowledge movement.
