It was also during Shabbat, by the way (which is a traditional problem even for Wikimedia Italia general assembly...). I don't know how big an impact Ramadan has had. I think that Meir Sheetrit has done more to explain us why the participation of arab israelis and palestinians in Wikimedia is so low, than the associations protesting against Israel[1]; I mean, when he said how expensive Internet connections are in Israel, and why this must change. Nemo [1] That might be because I'd normally agree with them so I knew the things they said. _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
