Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation's Annual Plan is now on Meta.[1]
This year we are continuing to adhere to the three strategic priorities laid out in the 2016-2018 interim strategic plan: reach, communities, and knowledge. Across the organization, we've introduced cross-departmental programs and planning, with a holistic approach to program support that draws on our community, technical, and other capacities. We feel that this new approach creates stronger and better outcomes for programs, and is also clearer as to what the Foundation is prioritizing. Some examples of these cross-departmental programs include New Readers, Structured Data, and Community Health, which have been discussed on this list and on wiki throughout the past year. Throughout the rest of the organization and department programs, we're continuing to invest in the areas we identified through the 2016-2018 interim strategic plan, as well as core work such as operational improvements, deepening diversity and inclusion, improving privacy and security, and funding the Wikimedia endowment. Thank you all for your support over the past year. Your participation in the movement strategy process launched this year is deeply appreciated, and it is remarkable to think that next year's plan will begin to incorporate the directions we design together. In the meanwhile, I'm looking forward to your feedback on this year's proposed plan during this open comment period. Yours, Katherine [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Annual_ Plan/2017-2018/Draft -- Katherine Maher Wikimedia Foundation 149 New Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA 94105 +1 (415) 839-6885 ext. 6635 +1 (415) 712 4873 kma...@wikimedia.org
