It seems he already knows that - he mentioned it in the 30C3 talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SscFfzD_his#t=36m55s (see also Roger Dingledine earlier in the same talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SscFfzD_his#t=34m18s ) This problem has been discussed many times before, also on this list: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/wikitech/323006 There have been quite a few well-meaning but naive proposals to solve it; I understand Jacob's remarks as a welcome call to the TOR community to work more intensively with Wikipedians to understand the actual issues that motivated Wikipedia's TOR block. > I am on #mediawiki now > > >> >> On Monday, December 30, 2013, Thomas Gries wrote: >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> during the 30C3 Congress [1] in Hamburg - where neither Wikipedia >>> Foundation nor MediaWiki were formally present this year (but should be >>> next year)- >>> Jacob Appelbaum [2] - core member of the TOR project - complained in one >>> of his numerous talks that the (edit) access to Wikipedia via TOR is not >>> possible. >>> >>> He requested that a way should be found to enable the TOR access >>> including edit access to Wikipedia. >>> >>> I am just the messenger of this message. >>> >>> Regards, >>> Tom >>> >>> [1] https://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/wiki/ >>> [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Appelbaum >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Wikitech-l mailing list >>> Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org <javascript:;> >>> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l >> _______________________________________________ >> Wikitech-l mailing list >> Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org >> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l >> >> --- >> Diese E-Mail ist frei von Viren und Malware, denn der avast!
