Good for you Gerard. However it would be better if your inputs would
not consistently direct away from Wikimedia infrastructure for
communication and publishing to the one that is owned and controlled
by blogspot.com ;-)

Good luck!

Hoi,
My blog has been mine for the last fifteen years and a bit. I have had no
interference from Blogspot whatsoever.

What I aim to achieve is more inclusion by opening up the knowledge that we
have. When we do, Commons will be approachable by children who can read in
their own language and who will ook and find many pictures of a shumba
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/shumba#Shona>. When we do we gain a public
for all the finished works in a Wikisource. To do this is a strategic
choice because we have not done this so far.

When we consider inclusion, it makes sense to consider the people we do not
reach and consider what is easy to do to change that. It starts with
technical issues and outreach including marketing will follow quickly. A
lack of inclusion exists on many levels, we should choose to pick these low
hanging fruits as a priority.
Thanks,
GerardM
