Re: [Wikimedia-l] Communicating plans and consultations

Hi Chris, Thanks for the comments. Would you and Edward be willing to meet with me (and anyone else who might be interested, such as Lodewijk as well as someone from WMF Communications) to discuss the current situation and brainstorm ideas about how to improve it? We could set up a meeting off-lis

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Communicating plans and consultations

Hey Pine, Had to laugh a little bit about a consultation about consultations, but I understand the rationale for it. Your point is well taken that information management is important to think about when there is much going on. I think the community notification calendar

Hi Pine, it's always easier of course to tell other people what they have to change, which is why I'm asking the opposite question too :) What can we change, on our end, to make communications easier for the WMF, for community members that want to reach out, for chapters and other affiliates. All

This topic came up during the course of the TCoC thread, and I was responding to that. Lodewijk was right to branch the disc

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Communicating plans and consultations

As I said, some of this is WMF-specific. For example, WMF could coordinate its requests for surveys and consultations so that they happen on a predictable monthly basis instead of sending what feels like 10+ notifications every month for separate consultations and surveys, with some of those being
