Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Design] 'Design team' in Wikimedia contexts

FWIW, Foundation staff members have told me more than once that they don't entirely understand WMF's org chart. My understanding is that the org chart is missing important pieces like consultants. Also, some users who are not native speakers of English have commented that the diversity of titles

Thanks for addressing the theme. While looking at the page, I'm having a hard time getting my head around it though. You seem to ask for 'thoughts' on a number of issues, but then you only allow a field for 'ideas' (which sounds like 'solutions' to me). Maybe this is a language issue, but would

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Harassment consultation on Meta

Thanks Lodewijk. We didn't mean "ideas" to limit contributions to full proposals or solutions. It could just be "Random thoughts from Lodewijk" - it's meant to be very open. You can also start a conversation about another idea by clicking on it to find its discussion, or take part in an ongoing

Re: [Wikimedia-l] 'Design team' in Wikimedia contexts

Hi Isarra -- I can clarify the way design is organized at the Foundation; the actual org page I'll have to leave to someone else. There are currently designers sitting in the vertical teams, but as the teams themselves are organized slightly differently, it's hard to understand. For example,

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community revitalization

Hi Pine, Michal -- Google SEO is a bit of a black art, but we can reach out and see if there's any specific feedback they can give us. We are investigating linking to Wiktionary from the Android app and Discovery may have some plans to integrate in search results. I'll bump those teams. -Toby

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Community revitalization

Thanks Michal. I periodically use English Wiktionary and am pleased with it as a reader. I am wondering what it might take to increase our readership of Wiktionaries in general, perhaps by increasing the prominence of them in Google search results. Pinging Toby to see if he has any ideas on how to

Patrick, Thank you for posting this.I am really hoping a lot of people will participate. Anti-harassment and child protection is something that we took on only about a year ago and I am very grateful to see the team pushing ahead with this. Your work on this is one of the most important new
