You forgot China and their needs!
Anyway, I'm somewhat confused. You disagree with idea that foundation is more worthy cause to support Wikipedia, than buying filtering hardware.
from much of the topics, or perceived erotic imagery in many of the articles. My tools let you filter import XML dumps
Do your filters try to count how much pink is in picture? :)
Anyway, I'm not sure censoring Wikipedia is helping Wikipedia. And I'm not sure anyone limiting access to proper wikipedia content is helping Wikipedia either.
I guess there're more books which contain violence (say... smiting in Bible), which should be definitely filtered.
Yes, the Bible is full of violence, sex, and lots of other "nasty stuff"; and so is Wikipedia. Sure, you can filter them, but you're going to end up with a lot of holes.
A better use of time/effort would be not to filter articles on their subject area, but on their quality; if you have the time, going through an article to find which is the "best" revision and then letting everyone else know, and/or making a list of what the "best" articles are, will ultimately be more productive than filtering out a (hopefully NPOV) decent article because you don't think that your readers should have access to this kind of information.
