A potential access to everything is a so vast and vague assertion

Also, one could come with the exact opposite assertion, full of 
always/never nothing/everything.

Given that this is an assessment that is being performed by paid staff, I
think it's unreasonable to think that the staff would issue more than very
mild criticism (Your report is so great it makes everyone else look
terrible!), even if the report was so poor as to deserve criticism.  I'm
not saying that it *is*, but I don't think anyone that values their job
would carpet their employer in a public forum, even if the employer invited
them to do so.  There should certainly be a note in this report to declare
the massive COI involved in having WMF staff 'critically' assessing a WMF
report.

That said, I do find the assessment for everyone else useful in terms of
seeing what the WMF staff will think, and I'm sure that chapters
considering an FDC application will take that on board.  I am a little
disappointed at the focus by WMF staff on quantitative metrics over
everything else, which I think may have the unfortunate side-effect of
encouraging entities to go after easily measurable activities rather than
the most effective and worthwhile activities.  Hopefully this will be taken
into account on future assessments.

Cheers,
Craig Franklin

Hi Katy,

thanks for sharing.

As a minor suggestion, to me it would be helpful if you could be a little
more specific than 'we' in your responses. Are you in those instances
speaking for your own (with your specific expertise), for a group of WMF
staffers, for the FDC, for the whole Foundation etc? Knowing that would
make it a bit more insightful.

It also seems like the right thing for Wikimedia to stand for; our
projects are among the more prominent supporters of anonymous and
pseudonymous knowledge-work on the web.

 I note from the selected list of organisations that have already signed (of

 Hi, Liam-

 Participating in StopWatching is definitely one of the options. For
 WMF to get involved in that way, there needs to be a consultation with
 the Advocacy Advisors list and (time permitting) an RFC. By following
 that process, we can be sure that the actions WMF takes are consistent
 with community's opinion on the topic.

 If you think WMF should be more involved, we (as always) invite and
 encourage you to start an RFC or discussion on Advocacy Advisors. We
 would pay close attention to those, and use them to help us guide our
 next steps. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to
 support, of course.

Hoi,
A species database does not contain the same information you are likely
to find in an encyclopaedia. When you want to be comprehensive in a
database about species, you will include many revisions of genera, of
species and more. When you care about such things, have a look at IPNI.

I don't know exactly the selection of this definition, but I suppose 
that it has been due to the choice to don't be project manager because 
any project has its own project manager.


He is project manager in some cases but for other projects is mainly a 
supervisor.


About the projects I would say that WM CH is focusing the efforts mainly 
in scientific projects. Scientific means not only science but is 
connected with the approach had in the projects (also a project in the 
literature may be scientific).


I think that his effort is mainly focused to give to the projects a 
scientific approach in order to give to the projects more quality.
