The Wikimedia Strategy 2030 recommendations were published on January 20, 2020, but the language, size, and complexity can be a intimidating, even for native English speakers.
I've attempted to summarize the recommendations into ONE PAGE, highlighting key concepts, structures and processes mentioned in the 68 page document. It's a work in progress, but I hope it helps to provide easier entry into the full document. Feel free to provide suggestions, feedback and reflections.
