It says you’re a nobody.
That’s offending, isn’t it?
Too bad.
This is public.
I don’t know. I didn’t write this.

Ah, OK. It’s re‑writable, so we’ll go and change it. "From grassroots," change that to “bottom up”. Keeps growing. It keeps growing.
That is too offensive?
How would that work better?
"You’re that somebody"?
Yeah, it doesn’t work.
That’s exactly what we did here.
Yes, yes.
That’s exactly what we did to this wall.
Well...

Not to nobody.
Sure, I don’t know. If you think "nothing" is lost and...
It sounds academic. I think that was the...

The next page is somewhere between a vision and a mission.
That’s what she’s talking about.
Because the g0v.tw site was in Chinese.
There’s also the English version, but still most of the pictures are in Chinese, if I’m not mistaken. Click English...Still it’s pretty Chinese‑ish.
