Yaroslav: thanks for these thoughts. Could you link to the RU Voyage document? How was it different from what a facilitator expected?
Let's see if we can all make a better central discussion space, and make brainstorming by individual-contributors more satisfying & w/fast feedback loops from one another. I think individuals, smaller/newer projects, and interested non-Wikimedians have a natural advantage in imagining new possibilities, so their brainstorming deserves every attention. A related question: will the result of this process be a strategy for the movement? How will large groups within the movement (the WMF, the largest WP communities, the largest affiliates) connect this with their own existing strategies? Let's make this much clearer than it was in 2010!
