dear all when i read the announce "Wikipedia for prisoners – an unexpected partnership between a swiss prison and Wikimedia CH" I jumped on my chair. please note that I am not questioning the value of providing access to Wikipedia offline, and I think Kiwix is a great project and congratulations to Emmanuel and all the people involved.
what made me jump on my chair is the unexpected partnership. for a partnership 1. either you share the same mission (?) 2. either you both give and gain from a cooperation (what Wikimedia CH received in return?). I think calling it a partnership can be a strategic sensational news, but is it really partnership? personally i perceive this communication issue as something important. it is the difference for me of saying to my family and friends: a) I am a member of Wikimedia CH which also supports education programs in prisons. b) I am a member of Wikimedia CH which cooperates with prisons. it is not the same thing. a) makes me thing "well done", b) makes me think it is not the reason I joint the association. please consider next time you communicate this project or other projects. it is delicacy which actually portraits the vision, the mission, the meaning and the sense of what is behind it and behind you. thanks! iolanda/iopensa Il giorno 19/giu/2013, alle ore 11:09, Emmanuel Engelhart <[email protected]> ha scritto: > Hi > > This is the result of our press release about our Pilot with the Prison > of Gorgiers, near Neuchatel.
