Hei,
I kind of sympathize with Jens' points. Mr. Zuckerberg, and especially Facebook
as a business, are not necessary in a perfect synchrony with the mission and
vision of the Wikimedia / Wikipedia movement. Even if this is the case we may
ask does it still make sense for us to collaborate
Wikimedia should stay far away from this crowd and its initiatives. Maybe
in the future we should even get more distance between them (Facebook,
Google, etc.) and us.
And how that would bring us closer to our vision to have all humans
have access to knowledge?

Hoi,
For your information ... an interview with Mr Zuggerberg... In my opinion
there is an opportunity as he is looking for dense information.. we are
really good at that :)
Thanks,
Gerard

Hoi,
But when they provide the infrastructure that allows our content to be seen

Hi,
Have you noticed the new internet.org initiative by Facebook, Samsung, Nokia,
Qualcomm, Ericsson and MediaTek?
Internet.org is a global partnership between technology leaders, nonprofits,
local communities and experts who are working together to bring the internet to
the two thirds of
I'm maybe too pessimistic, but I would be really surprised if this
project, at any time, really helps to provide an access (neutral) to the
Internet.
More probable: They will try to give a free/cheap access to a set of
their online services and so one do the same like AOL or MSN have tried
to do
Emmanuel,
I have my concerns as well so we're watching how things unfold for now.
Perhaps to add to Teemu's question (If I could be so bold) how would
internet.org need to evolve to make it worth our time and effort to be
involved?

Hoi,
All we need to do is what we already do: make our content available for
free. When we are really in their face that we bring neutral information to
everyone, everywhere how and why will they deny us?
Thanks,

If what I fear becomes real,
Nothing good comes with people like Mark Zuckerberg or Peter Thiel, they
don't share our vision of a *really* free and open internet. So, actually,
Emmanuel, I couldn't care less which direction they gonna make their next
moves. It will all be a disguise of what they really attempt and with whom

In the end it is what we are about. Last thing I heard we were first of all
about getting the knowledge out there.
