I would like to see some sort of international variation on the WikiMedium theme -- at least more encouragement of us all to translate such publications, if not the more regular reports. I've always found those an essential part of keeping up with WM-DE and it also usually improves my month. I think people from all communities and language backgrounds should have a similar chance to get a deep understanding of what the chapter is doing and planning. Also: some extra effort to generate followup (from outside the chapter) on some of the chapter's existing publications and research would be welcome. * Kompass 2020 and its background research (assuming it is revisited in some fashion over time) * Any data analysis or research studies commissioned by the chapter * Roadmaps for the 2 or 3 largest chapter projects Regards, SJ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
Re: [Wikimedia-l] FDC Proposals
Hi, Thanks for starting this thread, Itzik. I agree it is a great chance to see what different groups are planning for the coming year. I hope those who worked on one of these plans have some energy left to leave comments for one another. I would like to hear from chapters who filled out proposals whether they found the process straightforward, and whether / how it changed their annual planning. I would also like to hear from chapters who considered filling out a proposal but did not do so: why not?

Guillaume Paumier, 03/10/2012 17:36: I'm happy to do that, but do Wikimedia mailing lists support HTML e-mails? We receive them all the time, I suppose so (although sometimes pipermail will move the HTML to an attachment).
