Good news.
Embracing the factor that GLAM and Wikipedia can grow together to enhance
the various possibilities of Free (deep) Knowledge is a good development in
the 15th year of Wikipedia and also to counterbalance the commercialisation
of the internet in this era.

I don't agree with Magnus when it comes to "new technologies" which are in
the medium term changing the encylopedia in a Q/A-machine.
I believe in people, I don't believe in a Wiki-version of HAL 9000.

Sadly some Wikipedia Zero-stuff was smuggled in at the end of the video
which makes the whole thing propagating the violation of net neutrality.

Dear James,
your praising of WP0 surely deserves or even needs an appropiated answer,
but as I can't see my answering mail to Gerard's input from yesterday
published in this mailinglist so I will wait until this "moderated".
When I see that my email with the answer to Gerard is published in the
framework which enabled Wikipedia in the start. Ignoring this
and being proud of having a comfortable deal with some Telecoms is plain
wrong and irresponsible - especially for a free and open digital
development of the Global South.

This shows exemplary the success of Wikipedia for being a trusted spot for

is not the deal the mobile providers are looking forward to. I prefer to
stay critical and not giving up an important principle like net neutrality
just because some mobile providers made a nice marketing deal with us which
seemed to serve our own goals in short-term, but isn't reflected en
reached in participating

But as this is an US-American problem it should be handled by an
