I found the following recently-created essay by Yair rand to be thought-provoking and wanted to bring it to the attention of others: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Yair_rand/Future_of_Wikimedia
Its main theme is that "a Wikipedia surrounded by successful projects will have a far better future than without". Too often outreach efforts, strategic planning, and development of MediaWiki focus solely on Wikipedia. The essay provides arguments as to why that tunnel-vision would be ill-advised and advice on ways the other projects can be improved. -- Adrignola _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
