Dear colleagues,
I need your help.
In a weeks time, I am invited by the Norwegian Science Council to meet them
and lecture and discuss about how they can nurture and contribute to the
Wikipedia.
The Science Council (Forskningsrådet) organizes all the universities,
colleges, and institutes
that's amazing!

Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the
sum of all knowledge. That's our commitment!

I would really introduce some kind of *coherence* in any statement. I am
reading long emails (really long) reporting a long inside discussion but a
lot of incoherence.
Statement: The sources should be diversified because this will reduce the
risk.
A risk management is a consequence of a risk
Hi Erlend: Here we go with Catalan Areas:
- Examples from your chapter of co-operation with science / universities
- We've done a Wikiproject called Science week since 2011

- We've done scientific illustration in
Ok, but if the request is to diversify the incoming, I suppose that the
evaluation of the chapters *must change*.
If the chapters have to find funds because there is no sufficient money to
fund their programs (and not a single project), I suppose that the main
workload of the chapters would be to
In my opinion you are under-evaluating the impact of your so-called
advices.
It's sufficient to compare the leaving of employees in chapters staff after
and before these advices.

Anders,
the problem is the strong US/EN-centric way the projects are handled by
WMF. That drives people away (especially the more critical/touchy
communities like DE), and it didn't start with the superprotect mess. There
were other serious affronts by WMF (image filter, etc.) to the community

If you evaluate the ability to do projects, and not to find funds, the
current measures are inconsistent.
Please note that the ability to raise funds isn't (and wasn't) under
evaluation.
As it has already being said fundraising
The problem is that any change means change management.
I would say that the board must evaluate the impact of any change they are
bringing using the same effort they use to evaluate an impact of a project.
Any change means change manegemtn (as said) to adapt the current
organization to this
Hoi,
Then why did the nl.wikimedia chapter not get the funding they asked for?
Thanks,

while, as I said, I have no particular interest in defending WMDE and have
not even read their proposal, let me say that I would find that a
preposterous measure of success/failure. You can't just look at a time

Hi Patrik,
(I'm speaking for myself as a member of the FDC, not as a spokesperson for
the whole committee.)
A large part of the reason that the FDC was created was to have an
international group of volunteers do the work of helping the organizations
in the wikimedia family do a better job around
Good news everyone,
Cheese articles are gonna get improved!
As french, it was dreadful for us to see so few illustrations of cheese on
Wikipedia. This is about to change.
A group of french Wikimedians, lead by Pierre-Yves Beaudouin, designed a
project to photograph many cheeses, up to 200 for
Fun, fascinating and simple idea that is a really good example of
innovative projects that can be run :-) Thanks for sharing.
I think that this project, like the Wikimedia Norway Nobel Peace Prize
announcement live-editathon a few months ago, show how Chapters and local
groups can take advantage
This is an awesome idea Christophe! I'm only jealous that I'm not in France
to take part (in the editing... editing... in no way do I want to be there
mostly for the eating of course).
Also, KissKissBankBank is an amazing name for a crowd funding site.

I maintain that I would love to have a formal universal feedback channel for
Chapters work. It has to be drama-free, but transparent, and not moderated.
Feedback is occasionally not negative, and may contain thorough project ideas.

Thank you Christophe for your message. I'm the project leader of

to leave me a message.

It should. As I recall, the idea came from their work. :-) (Don't quote
