Wait am moment... Wikipedia Zero is an extension to Wikipedia that
filters out images? And not even some of them on a totally voluntary
base but all of them for everybody? I guess I better shut down my
e-mail account to prevent the flood of angry mailing list posts from
the censorship theoreticists...

(To make a contribution to the issue Billinghurst raised: As I
understand it, Wikipedia Zero is a offer to mobile providers who
restrict web access to a select few websites to limit traffic. They
only allow access to a limited set of "most popular" websites with low
bandwidth requirements. The providers probably are just interested in
Wikipedia and not in its less popular sister projects... It's a
transitional solution anyways. In a few years even the Global South
will have sweet mobile internet connectivity and everybody can enjoy
Wikisource and Wikiversity on mobile with images!)

Wikimedia proposes Wikipedia Zero
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I know that it is the flagship,
however, it becomes a
self-fulfilling philosophy that nothing else exists at WMF when
_WMF_ cannot even seem to
present the whole package.
Think if we expanded our visions and our message
* Quick and easy dictionary (wiktionary)
* Read a classic, a history, from science geniuses (Wikisource),
** or even download the work! Well only if there were resources
provided so we could
explore the Epub extension
* grab a free lecture (wikiversity)
Different sites, different scopes, different experiences ...
synergism of knowledge.
