Re: [Wikimedia-l] Copyfraud by the British Museum

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia content for in-flight entertainment?

Amazing idea. I guess one could email them and offer this. Would not add weight on their end as it is simple digital. The entertainment system would be completely separate from the flight systems so would not have significant certification issues. James On Sun, Jul 30, 2017 at 4:50 PM, Lodewijk

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia content for in-flight entertainment?

Why stop at read-only content? Why not take advantage of people trapped in a can for their flight time? You could solicit contributions from people, most of whom probably have never contributed to Wikipedia before. You could even gamify it based on competition between those on the same flight, one

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia content for in-flight entertainment?

Certification process for the hardware of kiwix might be a tremendous pain in the ass. And second point the airline will need a business case to cary more weight (count about 3.5% of the weight as extra fuel burn per hour). That said I'd love to use Wikipedia on an IFE. Le 31 juil. 2017 00:02,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing the Wikimedia Technical Committee (TechCom)

Victoria Thanks you for your prompt and full reply. However, you describe how volunteer developers will interact with TechCom, but my question was about the users across the world and the content contributors in the various projects, who will be using the products and services that WMF and the
