Does Kiwix have the ability to filter by task force? Would improve censorship granularity. --Ipatrol (talk) 15:52, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
How can we include Spanish-language articles? What is the path to making this a linguistically all-encompassing project? Spanish especially is really important for US prisons, but I do support the approach of "get something in the door first, then grow it". Triciaburmeister (talk) 16:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
What would be the benefits/drawbacks of putting this page on Meta rather than en:wiki? Triciaburmeister (talk) 16:29, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
