Re: [Wikimedia-l] July 14: Strategy update - New Voices research, events, and interviews (#21)

2017-07-18 Thread Pine W 
I have a few comments here. These aren't directed personally to Katherine;
this is more like "Pine thinking out loud".

I have am grateful for the depth and breadth of discussions that are
happening in the strategy process. The depth and breadth are more extensive
than I anticipated.

I am uncertain about how the end product will look -- I think that everyone
is -- and I continue to be cautious about spending so much money and time
on developing strategic goals and a strategic plan. Still, I am hopeful
that the end product will be useful.

However, there is still the matter of the financing of the extension of the
grant, and so far the lack of answers about how much it is costing and the
other matters that I raised in my previous emails. I am hoping that WMF
will choose to be cooperative with these inquiries. It seems to me that WMF
should make efforts to set a good example of financial transparency.

Hi Katherine,

In March, the topics that the Movement Strategy process described as
to be addressed included metrics:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Topics/Metrics

However, since then the topics list on which metrics were listed have
been removed from all but eight languages' process briefing pages.

Are movement metrics still planned for inclusion in the strategy process?

Best regards,
Jim

[Wikimedia-l] July 14: Strategy update - New Voices research, events, and interviews (#21)

2017-07-17 Thread Katherine Maher 
Hi all!

For the last few months, we’ve all been talking together - on wiki, and in
person - about our own personal and community hopes and goals for the
Wikimedia projects and movement. But while this has been going on, members
of the strategy team have been doing research into the world outside the
movement.

This month, during Cycle 3, we’re sharing what we’ve learned from outside -
from readers, experts, and partners from our New Voices initiative. Right
now, the focus is on ensuring that the voices that normally aren’t part of
our strategic discussions are present and well-represented, and that those
of us in the movement have the opportunity to see into the future, and
think ahead about the way the world is changing. [1]  One of my recent
updates

[2]
provided a summary of the broader context and goals for Cycle 3. Today, I
wanted to share some new resources and materials we’ve published in the
past two weeks, and note that there’s much more to come!

June Wikimedia Foundation Metrics Meeting
. During the meeting, the New
Voices team members provided an overview of initial findings from ongoing
research projects and affiliate-led salons and events. [3]

Considering 2030: Misinformation, verification, and propaganda
.
The Foundation is working with independent research consultants to
understand the key trends that will affect the future of free knowledge.
This assessment is based on a review of more than one hundred reports,
articles, and studies, and it includes a framework to discuss and monitor
trends in misinformation. [4] Please join the conversation on meta or your
local wiki in the next couple of days. [5]

Discussions with experts on the evolving history of knowledge sharing
. We
summarized and published videos and transcripts [6] and outcomes [7] of
three recent brown bag events with experts in social mobilization, emerging
communities, and new readers.

WikiWomenCamp 2017
. At the
second WikiWomenCamp in Mexico City, attendees discussed challenges and
opportunities for women participation in the movement (the inaugural event
was held in Argentina in 2002, and we’re thrilled to see its return). There
are some excellent published photos [8] from the event to check out as well
as a summary of the event on our blog [9].

Bene habeas (Latin translation: “May it be well for you”)
