[Wikimedia-l] Re: Call for feedback on a proposed Third-party resources policy

I'm also concerned, and I have some reasons. Graphs have been broken for more 
than a month now, and it doesn't seem that they are going to recover, losing 
opportunities to show things in a more interesting way. Some efforts we have 
made to show Ourworldindata maps and graphs are also stopped at "security 
review". Some years ago, we launched (and invested lot of money on) a system 
that would read the articles in some languages but it never succeeded because 
of the same reason.

And I would accept that having third-party resources is not the best option if 
we had product team working on those features. But this isn't happening and 
doesn't seem it will happen in the future. Some years ago we were obsolete. Now 
we are paleolithic, a relic for archaeologists of the Internet. Meanwhile, 
other platforms are advancing by the day on new features. Every day we are 
further from our 2030 strategic goal.

I have concerns about this policy. We are a collaborative movement and will 
succeed more by working collaboratively with other like minded organizations 
than by building a walled garden where only software run from WMF staff 
controlled production servers can reach our readers.

On WikiVoyage for example we have relief maps as an optional overlay that is 
viewable following a notice that external data sources will be accessed.

would end this. Which in my opinion would be a loss.
