Hoi,
There are all kinds of organisation like the WMF working on their own
little niche. This proposal firmly concentrates on the "official" knowledge
organisations. My experience is that they are as committed as we are to
bring quality information to the world.
So far we absolutely refuse to acknowledge them for the work that they do.
There are plenty of examples where we do not connect. Would connecting to
other volunteer organisations with the goal to mutually bring our content
to a higher level of quality be considered?
Thanks,
GerardM
