- We need a free toolchain that we can build upon and digitize /
gather / curate / format / publish knowledge with. There are currently major gaps in this toolchain -- core projects and collaborations rely on non-free tools or non-free hosted service. Every time we use or work to interoperate with such tools and services, we should also support replacing them with free ones. (That support can include everything from publicity and matchmaking to in-kind support to funds)
Free efficient OCR software is a great need for Wikisource and its contributors. That's an important gap in the free toolchain to build a free online library.
