[WikiEN-l] Request for help: Strategic Planning
The Wikimedia Foundation has begun a year long phase of strategic planning. During this time of planning, members of the community have the opportunity to propose ideas, ask questions, and help to chart the future of the Foundation. In order to create as centralized an area as possible for these discussions, the strategy wiki (http://strategy.wikimedia.org ) has been launched. This wiki will provide an overview of the strategic planning process and ways to get involved, including just a few questions that everyone can answer. All ideas are welcome, and '''everyone''' is invited to participate. Please take a few moments to check out the strategy wiki. It is being translated into as many languages as possible now; feel free to leave your messages in your native language and we will have them translated (but, in case of any doubt, let us know what language it is, if not english!). All proposals (see http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Call_for_Proposals) for the Wikimedia Foundation may be left in any language as well. Please, take the time to join in this exciting process. The importance of your participation can not be overstated.

This main page of strategy.wikimedia.org is merely a icon-listing of all the projects. There is no obvious link to drill down into the strategy wiki itself. No links except to other projects.

I think the issue was server based. It's been hiccuping some today and forwarding us to the wikimediafoundation.org site... I bet he got caught in one of those.

Re: [WikiEN-l] Request for help: Strategic Planning
wjhonson, it's really not, despite the way it's acting for you. For whatever reason, a small number of people are being forwarded to the wrong site, and the servers are confused. I'm sorry you got caught in it. That link really leads to the main page.
