While Oka itself claims to be free of the systematic bias of Wikipedia, how can you be so sure that Oka itself is not free of systematic bias, even if it tries to be as public and transparent as possible?

So unfortunately, even if Oka claims to be doing for the good, I still see it somewhat as a political group, even if our values are aligned, and thus, "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" (Who will watch the watchmen?)



> Who will watch the watchmen?

I think the answer is: everyone, at least theoretically. Edit histories on Wikipedia are completely open, and anyone can edit (almost?) any article.


"given enough eyeballs, all biases are shallow"


A classic is to publish who paid for what. So how much USAID money did they get? OKA would be more believable if the source of their funding was clearly stated, with who funded what.
