What’s in this episode? 

Last month, a text called the “Global Majority Wikimedia Technology Priorities" was published on Meta. This is a manifesto, signed by a growing number of Wikimedia organizations and individuals, which addresses decision making about technology in the Wikimedia Movement - particularly when it comes to creating technology that is designed for users of the global majority and in emerging communities. We talk to two of the initiators of the research and the text, and they relate their work to movement strategy and knowledge as a service.
