Should we save Wikipedia? We answer with our experts on Twitch this evening at 6:30 p.m.!

Les Nums, the show, is our monthly meeting on Twitch to decipher and better understand the news and the major themes that drive the world of tech and digital. The second episode is this evening from 6:30 p.m. on the Numériques channel.

This time we are going to talk about Wikipedia. The online encyclopedia is the target of several attacks and challenges, so this is an opportunity to ask the following question: should we save the Wikipedia soldier?
