[Wikimedia-l] Does anyone know what wikimedia france are up to with the Request Network ?

Hi all, Update on the topic. Since Request Network were so slow and reluctant to change their delusive communication into a fair and clean information, Wikimédia France broke the agreement with them. Thus, this partnership is over. We deleted our blog post about it. And we keep on trying to obtain the same from Request Network (who are turning a deaf ear until now). Once again, sorry for the noise and thanks for alerting us, Nadine Le Lirzin *Secrétaire du conseil d'administration* *Wikimédia France* *Post-scriptum:* no other cryptocurrency donations project is planned ^^' 2018-04-28 17:12 GMT+02:00 Nadine Le Lirzin <nlelirzin at wikimedia.fr>: > Hi all, > > First of all, thanks for reporting the issue.
