The majority of the work we do isnt publishing, removing copyrighted
content from an article isnt publishing.  When discussing issues on talk
people dont see that as publishing but rather discussing.

As someone who has trained a lot of people if the term publish is used
it'll actually be a hindrance to getting them to make even the smallest of

Not every language has a word for publish, there are some 300 Indigenous
Australian languages that dont one our biggest challenges in taking the
first Australian Indigenous (Noongar[NYS]) language from incubator to live
is actually in finding the right words for the buttons and menus
