Hi Sumana,

The interpretation could be better, the melody could be merrier, and 
still,

I liked the lyrics. Thanks for sharing!

Seeing this I wonder if it would be possible for the WM movement to 
gain

more presence, or better said, some presence in the cultural creation
world. For instance, if sci-fi authors were given the task of 
imagining a

wiki-world where free knowledge thrives... what would it look like?
Or some criminal story, where edit wars go too far... :)


You may like this project that I would like to see included within 
Wikimedia official projects:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikultur

Please show your support and add your signature if you are interested. 
I whish I was able to come to Wikimania to present it, but I failed at 
obtaining a scholarship for this event. Nevertheless some people 
interested in the project should be there, and I will try to help them 
as far as I can to present the project.


By the way, is there a license attached to this song, or is it bare 
copyright?




I loved the xkcd fundraising campaign and I hope that there are more 
PR
actions that not only focus on fundraising, but also in nurturing 
directly

the cultural presence. Is it happening? Would it be wanted?

Cheers,
Micru

I came across this sentimental song about a world of encouragement 
and

productivity, in which everyone is encouraged to create, support and
work toward ideals and it reminded me of our shared mission, so I
wanted to share it with you.

Copyright Sassafrass As it is a song there are special rules for
commercial performances, like if you cover it. Cover means sing a song
you did no write yourself like on a recording.
