Pessoal
A Anasuya poderá trazer uma importante e fundamental transformação no
momvimento Wikimedia mundial.
Tive a oportunidade de conversar com ela recentemente e fiquei extremamente
impressionado e motivado.
Para mim, um resumo de nossa conversa seria aldo como; se em 2001 a
Wikipedia inovou no modo de construir conhecimento, agora temos os recursos
e a experiência para inovar não somente no modo, como também no produto
construído pela soma do conhecimento humano, integrando vozes até então
marginalizadas.
Enfim, algo para celebrarmos e apoiarmos muito!
abração,
Thomas
