Julian Assange: "I have many other ideas, and as soon as WikiLeaks is strong enough to flourish without me I'll go on with these other ideas. It is strong enough to survive quite well without me now, but I don't know that it would flourish."

[This is a restricted internal development mailinglist for w-i-k-i-l-e-a-k-s-.-o-r-g.
Please do not mention that word directly in these discussions; refer instead to 'WL'.
This list is housed at riseup.net, an activist collective in Seattle with an established 
lawyer and plenty of backbone.]

Some people may be wondering about the unusual names on this list.  
There are xxxxxxxxxxxxx people on this list. Everyone is personally known and  
trusted by, or is, the founding group.

How much will YOU pledge to WL (in matched pledging or otherwise) for  
its next six months of activities? We can succeed at a slower / scale  
limited way with under $50,000 / year & volunteers, but it is our  
goal to raise pledges of $5m by July.  Smaller pledges can be used in  
ways that will generate larger ones, so there's an amplification on  
any early contribution.

Foundation Sheds Light on Wikileaks Expenses

http://www.techeye.net/internet/wau-holland-foundation-sheds-light-on-wikileaks-donations#ixzz0taJFKGWl

Germany's Wau Holland Foundation has told newspaper Der Freitag Wikileaks receives no money for personnel costs, only for hardware, travelling and bandwidth. Hendrik Fulda, the foundation's second chairman, says around 30.000 euros have been handed out after receiving signed receipts. According to Fulda, most of the money has been mainly used to restore Wikileaks and keep the site up and running. The website had to be taken down last year as donations did not cover costs.

12 July 2010. Responses by Wikileaks on Twitter and to journalists have not constructively answered this message, instead have attempted to dismiss it by juvenilia and with yet another promise to someday restore Wikileaks to public service commensurate with that of its courageous contributors.

11 July 2010. Add ISNIC and Robtex data on Wikileaks.is and comments.

Wikileaks Insider Messages: http://cryptome.org/0001/wikileaks-mess.htm

A sends via PGPboard, 10 July 2010:

WIKILEAKS WEBSITE TO BE ABANDONED

Within the last few hours we have learned that WIKILEAKS (Assange) will commit no more time and effort into restoring our website http://www.wikileaks.org .

The website has been effectively down in terms of document submissions for many weeks, and as we speak there is no way for the general public or potential whistleblowers to upload documents to the site.

We have been told that WIKILEAKS will be launching a completely new site hosted in Iceland. However, Assange would not provide any time lines, or any indication of user options and facilities.

During the exchange, Assange also confirmed that no legal team had been provided to Manning, and no one from WIKILEAKS had met Manning during his detention in Kuwait. This was completely at odds with recent WIKILEAKS emails requesting $50,000 in donor funding for a legal team to fly to Kuwait.

Summary

11 July 2010

Cryptome:

It would be a mistake to presume that Wikileaks is dormant or heading that way, that is wishful thinking of its opponents. All status-challenging initiatives go through difficulties as their influence grows along with demands for continued and improved service -- indicators of success. Similar existing and new initiatives should offer Wikileaks assistance as Wikileaks has done for them to assure that Wikileaks and others are mutually supported and sustained.

During the time when Wikileaks is not able to accept secure submissions and is reconfiguring its site, Cryptome offers, and encourages other sites, to accept, archive and deliver secured submissions for Wikileaks, secured for delivery to Wikileaks by:

1. First encryption of the submission to the source.

2. Second encryption to Wikileaks of the encrypted submission. Wikileaks keys (Wikileaks Talk on PGP Keys, downloaded 4 July 2010, now apparently removed.)

3. Third encryption to the archiving site of the twice-encrypted submssion.

4. Transmit to the archiving site by anonymizing means.

6. Notification of the submission by the source to a trusted third party.

7. Other security devised by the source.

PGPBoard sends 11 July 2010:

Wikileaks appears to be under the cosh at the moment. In line with John Young's initiative PGPBOARD will also gladly forward and deliver traffic to WIKILEAKS for as long as required.

Just go to http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pgpboard/ and follow the forwarding instruction. Or contact us for help. Just remember, we ONLY accept PGP/Gnupg encrypted traffic.
