Subject: [Wikivoyage-l] Community open letter on renaming Wikimedia

[To all Wikimedia projects, minus mailing lists with an active
discussion already.]

On August 2020, the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees may decide a
rename to "Wikipedia Foundation" and various other things.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_noticeboard/Board_Update_on_Branding>

Following a community meeting, a proposed open letter was written:
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_open_letter_on_renaming>

«We ask the Wikimedia Foundation to pause or stop its current movement
renaming activities, due to persistent shortcomings in the current
rebranding process. Future work should be restarted only in a way that
ensures equitable decision-making.»

(Sorry for the crossposting. When replying, be mindful of cc. Do

translated introduction, or translate the pages on Meta.)

Cheers,
        Federico aka Nemo
