Katherine Maher, the chief executive director of the Wikimedia Foundation, speaks Thursday at Darien Library about how a community of volunteers from around the globe built — and operates — one of the world’s most popular websites. Maher will speak Thursday from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Community Room. Roughly a billion people visit Wikipedia every month, seeking knowledge in nearly 300 languages. The Wikimedia Foundation operates Wikipedia and Wikimedia’s other free knowledge projects and offers support to a global community of 80,000 volunteers and 100 affiliate organizations around the world.
