Act Now, Wikimedia Foundation!
It is a pity that in Wikipedia projects, internal policies are created with no regard for basic community management, no regard for capacity building, no regard for how to write to "normal" people in a virtual environment. This reminds me of the old tactic of hiring the best engineer as the next CEO, instead of being a consultant. Or maybe hiring the best engineers as an executive board. It can be efficient when starting a project, but it is not sustainable. It turns into a suffocating environment. Every administrator will eventually turn into a "respect my authority" gatekeeper instead of serving the common-sense role of a cloud-based encyclopedia, to document.…

Creating Digital Rights Blogs and NGOs Database & Blog Aggregator
During the fourth Arab Bloggers Meeting that I attended recently in Amman, Jordan, an idea of an independent project struck me. The project should be aimed to build a database of all NGOs, websites and blogs specialized, or have a specialized section, in digital rights. I put here a form for all NGOs and bloggers who are interested to be in the blog aggregator.

URGENT Call of Action: Solidarity needed with Mahinour ElMasry and her fellow detainees
From Fatma Emam's blog. Apparently, this country decided to show us more and more of its ugly faces. I am writing this post in solidarity with the fierce fighter Mahinour ElMasry. Mahinour is sentenced to jail for 2 years for peaceful protesting. Mahinour is one of the first victims of the notorious protesting law, with hinders the right of assembly and many other rights. The regime understood that the masses in the streets are the makers of change. They are trying to cartel them again, to imprison them with a wicked notion of "persevering the stability and peace of the society". Those in power forget that the main reason for unrest is INJUSTICE, DESPOTISM, TYRANNY, and POVERTY.…

Revolution vs Coup – Mubarak vs Morsi
I've been seeing this argument, if it is a military coup or not, in the western media after ousting Morsi. I'm really, REALLY, pissed off at the western media coverage, which gives no tiny credit to the power of the people. Turning the whole process from a democratic process, to a ballotocracy process (from ballots). The western media think that democracy is a rigid contract between the elected person and the people through the ballots boxes, a contract that can not be retracted by the people when they realize how the country is going to a catastrophe.
