2021:In Memoriam

In here we remember those who walked amongst us that have passed since the last Wikimania in Stockholm in 2019.
An individual's passing is always a time of sorrow;
we hope the void that is left can be filled with joy in celebrating the life and differences they made.
2020–21 has been particularly sad as more have been taken from our community.

As time progresses, every word may slowly vanish from view.
Take solace in the knowledge that every contribution is there, whether it can be seen or not,
for each contribution has made the whole: they will continue to live through the projects they helped to make possible.

We thank and remember:

Let knowledge grow from more to more,
But more of reverence in us dwell
