Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] 2013-14 Annual Plan of the Wikimedia Foundation
As SJ and John have pointed out, there are many good reasons to wikify documents like this, not in the least to allow deep linking, and make reading more convenient on mediums that don't play nicely with PDF (like smartphones). So long as the wikified version is protected so as to maintain its integrity, I don't think there'll be any serious problems.

Presumably yes. That's the usual procedure for other wikified or translated docs.

Many WMF documents that are not meant to be editable exist in wiki form. Wiki pages integrate nicely with commons and our localization tools, generate anchors for every section, render tables that are easier to copy. I imagine one reason we don't have more documents in wiki version is that many of us use Google Docs / Office / Adobe toolchains, for their real-time collaboration and annotation and elegant-printing capabilities. And we don't have a one-click export-to-wiki tool (or a convert-on-upload option) that works on all of those document formats. That makes it a chore to generate a wiki version, which only happens when someone remembers to make it so. Our financial documents are often wikified (quite handy; thank you to the team for making it so!) -- including recent audited financials and annual reports. http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Financial_Reports/Financial_Statements_Ending_June_30_2012_and_2011 http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation/Annual_Report/2010-11 Regards, SJ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
