Hi! Reading this thread I thought of something that was discussed in Berlin: Is there any need for a fourth Working Group?
Additional to the three major themes mentioned by Sue (Reach, Quality and Participation), what about another working group to focus on the long-term Sustainability of the Wikimedia movement? There is already a great deal of ideas here about how should the Foundation: cover other parts of human knowledge (coverage); preserve database (off-planet...); enable sustainable growth (affiliation...); face financial challenges (endowment...); etc. Should all or some of the ideas above be discussed in another working group? This working group could be described as something like: 4. Sustainability. The goal of this Working Group will be to make sure the Wikimedia movement can reach its vision in a sustainable way. It could answer important sub-group questions like: *How to sustain Wikimedia services and data across any major situation? *How to start new valuable projects to cover other parts of human knowledge? *How to promote innovation within our network? *How to support the development of new significant tools and services? *How to organize the structure of the Wikimedia movement? *How to sustain the financial needs of the Wikimedia movement? What do you think? abraços, Thomas _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
