All Wikimedia projects are interconnected, and anyone can use and participate in it. The biggest project among these projects is Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, which is a very popular site.

To achieve our mission, we will provide infrastructures and organizational system in coorperation with the foundation and individual volunteers, and we will contribute to making and keeping useful information from the Wikimedia projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.
