Why
1. We are already distributing Wikipedia as an educational tool 3. It is more and more accessible (online, mobile, offline) 4. Making sure it provides (good) content related to education 5. Improving underrepresented content 6. Taking advantage of existing resources and expertise 7. Supporting Wikipedia and its (potential and new) communities (readers and contributors)
What we are not going to do
1. We do not break Wikipedia rules. 2. We do not work for governments and ministries of education. 3. We do not consider Wikipedia a schoolbook. 4. We do not promote Wikipedia as a stable and passive resource. 5. We do not centralize all the activities, and in any case we can’t. !
