Typo & Mistranslations

1. I noticed that in the PDFs you uploaded recently, the description says "commissioned in July 2020", I think it should be 2022.
2. In the File:Wikimedia HRIA Foreword + Executive Summary Chinese (Traditional).pdf, some users noticed that all of "free knowledge" is translated into "免費知識" instead of "自由知識", the similar to "knowledge free of charge", it may compromise the uniqueness of the concept.

   Hello @YFdyh000! Thank you for your comments. The description is accurate: the report is from 2020 and we are just now publishing it. There is some discussion in the foreword about the delay. In the future, we aim to be more timely about publishing such reports. With regard to the Chinese translation, thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I will be working with the translator to revise this translation so it is more accurate for our movement. Do you know of any resources that I could share with the translator that have broadly accepted translations of common Wikimedia terms in Chinese? This would be helpful now and in the future.
