Well, we're not saying anything about the web, we're saying
"Internet". In that respect, "multilingual wiki projects" is much more
tech-centric. But either seems fine with me; if these solutions become
outdated, we will simply update our mission statement, as we've done
before. It's the vision statement which should be timeless.

Hair splitting, but we can change it to "free content license".
