Dovi makes an important point which I also made in my "State of the 
Wiki" summary, which is that there are millions of Chinese speakers who 
would not be affected by censorship in mainland China. So, effectively, 
there are two communities: one that would feel the censorship, and one 
that wouldn't. The question is, should lack of support in one of them be 
sufficient to deny the project to the other?
