Said project will start with "the mission of giving access to knowledge to people" regardless of their native tongue, as it was mentioned by president of the Mexican Wkimedia Association, Ivan Martinez.

Furthermore, Geek reported that Wkimedia established an alliance with Conaculta to include historic content, as well as art an Mexican culture among the pages of Wkipedia, even though in the end, this is the work of independent individual and onto so much of Wikipedia itself.
