My candidate statement | I firmly believe in the political potentials of the Wikis and given my background, as a pioneer of blogging and podcasting in Iran, I can help Wikimedia Foundation adopt new strategies and develop projects to promote Wikis as a means for democratization of the knowledge, news, and organizations, especially in the Middle East, where I was born and rasied.
Some of the ideas are discussed in this article I presented at Wikipdia conference in Germany: Wiki-ocracy. (Aug. 2005). OpenDemocracy About my work:
