If you're planning to iron out some kinks: here's a suggestion: In the
introduction to the course it is claimed that victims of harassment "may even develop
broad health issues that continue long-after their harassment has stopped" that
include (among other things) stomach ulcers. It is well know that the main causes of
Peptic ulcer disease are the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, NSAIDs and tobacco smoking.
Perpetuating the myth that stress causes, rather than plays a role in, the formation of
stomach ulcers is unhelpful.

Yes, the platform is intended to serve the entire
Wikimedia movement!
We plan to pilot with some trusted affiliates first, to iron out kinks and to take our
time co-creating governance structures for the platform with the broader community. Once
those are in place, authoring on the platform would become available to all Wikimedians.
