That's a legitimate viewpoint, but not the one that's informing StrategyWiki's current use by WMF. Our current use is for StrategyWiki to be a place to develop and document strategic research (which is an ongoing process that doesn't end with the five-year plan), where we can easily refer back to and develop some of the accumulated wisdom on StrategyWiki, and where we can pick up work using some of the established practices and processes when necessary (launch a new call for proposals, build new task forces, etc.). In other words, StrategyWiki has an identity and a purpose that extends past the strategic planning process. We may be able to ultimately accomplish all these things by creating spaces within Meta to do them, importing supporting tools/namespaces, etc., or within some future wonderful information architecture, but for the time being, StrategyWiki lives. :-) The FAQ, on the other hand, definitely did not belong there. I've commented a bit more on the issue of merging wikis in this post, and the same arguments apply here: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/foundation-l/2011-January/063690.html -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
