Given previous experience, past examples of this project editors are free to make any contributions so I see no issue with governments, institutions or even private corporations supporting knowledge sharing activity. The best time to share knowledge is now, the second best is when its under threat, what we cant do is share knowledge once its destroyed.
What I do see as unacceptable is saying we shouldn't be sharing knowledge because a society and cultures' future is being threatened. We need to be doing everything we can to ensure we collect and document as much as we can. We have seen many museums and heritage places lost in the last 20 years due various natural and unnatural events.
