I have a suggestion.

Both WMF and the community are operating under resource constraints, and I
think that the question of whether and how WMF should resource the support
of additional projects versus current projects is a good one to have in the
context of the strategy discussion. Rather than try to work out that issue
here on Research-l, I suggest that the issue be flagged to Nicole Ebber for
inclusion in the strategy discussions.

Similarly, I think that the role of Wikidata in the Wikimedia universe
would be good to have in the context of the strategy process.

[Wiki-research-l] Growing Wikipedia Across Languages via Recommendation

[James Salsman]

Leila, since https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.03235.pdf worked so well, is
it going to be implemented widely, or is it shelved? Does it need
advocates?
