That is, if anything, an unfortunate myopia that arises out of the submissions. As was noted during the board meeting prior to Wikimania (I believe you can find the comment in the minutes), a lot of the proposals there are not particularly strategic in nature. While we don't want to simply discard ideas that might have value, we will be focusing more on these kinds of fundamental questions as the process moves forward. Any help in framing these issues, and identifying which proposals really grapple with them, would be appreciated. > Should we be > innovating, taking risks, and looking for new growth opportunities? > Or, should be focusing on solidifying and maintaining our existing > positions and projects?
