Re: [Wikimedia-l] Announcing Community Strategy Liaisons

[Jennifer Pryor-Summers]

Paulo,

Given that the ages you refer to are for the community to feed back to the
various working groups, any lack of activity there can best be described as
the discussions being abandoned by the community.  That's not too
surprising, since very few members of the community have the time, energy,
experience or expertise to take part in this sort of discussion at this
level of granularity.  It might have been better to formulate a few "grand
challenge" type questions but at this level of detail it seems both
necessary and desirable for the community to leave the decision-making to
the Foundation -- they have a full-time, paid, expert staff to do this sort
of thing, as we're hearing in the message that started this very thread.

Why all these discussions on meta seem to be completely abandoned by the
Strategy Work Groups? -
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/2019_Community_Conversations/Roles_%26_Responsibilities
Wasn't it supposed to exist some interaction over there?
Who is the community talking to?

Best,

Kelsi

Thanks for that announcement.  An obvious question -- why did you not
appoint a Community Strategy Liaison for the English language community?
