Yup. It would be interesting to ponder if wiki app could channel through
Tor by default - in the spirit of The Guardian project. Informing users
about Tor benefits has obvious disavantages related to the fact that most
people will not be able to grasp it.

The issues occurring in Turkey highlight that we may

* Access
over the next 15 years. Where access is not only potentially hindered by
governments but also technical and monetary realities in various country
and region. We of course have already worked and continue to do work in
this area with initiatives like Wikipedia Zero and Offline Wikipedia /
Kiwix.

Hi all,
*Summary: The report from cycle 1 discussion is online[1]. The start of
cycle 2 is delayed until next week.*
Thank you for your contributions! We have been hard at work reading,
sorting, and summarizing more than 1,800 community member statements,
from
more than 100 community discussions from across
five continents. Each of
these statements was a response to the question: "What do we want to
build
or achieve together over the next 15
years?"
You can find the full report on the major themes, and more details about
them, in a summarized report on Meta-Wiki.[1]
Some common themes emerged from these conversations:
* Reliable, neutral, high-quality content
* Community health & support
* Internal & external collaboration
* Improved and new features
* Users, editors, & contributors
* Outreach, awareness, & promotion
* Innovation and adaptation
* Funding, staffing, and other organizational needs
* Support for emerging communities
* Advancing Wikipedia in education
* Movement values
* Sustainability & growth
Each of these themes is described in more detail within the body of the
report,[1] and the full data spreadsheet from this analysis will be
posted
soon.
The movement strategy team has been working to group these themes
together,
so that we have a smaller number of concepts to
consider in the next
cycle.
Because this work is important, we want to make
sure the grouping and
analysis are comprehensive and thoughtful. In order to make sure we can
get
it right, we’re delaying the start of cycle 2
discussions until next
week.
As you probably know, the Turkish authorities blocked Wikipedia in Turkey
this week.[2] We’ve been working around the clock to understand the
circumstances and respond appropriately, including appealing in Turkish
court. We’re grateful to everyone who has reached out to offer us your
thoughts and perspective. Government limitations on free knowledge are
just
one of the critical issues that have come up
during the movement strategy
process. As we confront these challenges in real time, it has been a
reminder for me how important our work is, and how it has very real
implications for people around the globe. Again, thank you.
Kendine iyi bak (Turkish translation: “Take care of yourself”),
Katherine
