way to gather and prioritize them is through a strategic planning process
somewhat like what WMF and the community did in the last time
Hi community members,
I'm wondering how many people might be interested in having an IRC meeting
regarding the community's relationship to WMF and potentially developing
our own strategic plan that would be independent of WMF. In the past few
days I've heard some defense of WMF but mainly

I am interested in community strategy to tackle such things as
1) exposing missing, confusing, or outdated local policies by using policy
comparisons cross-wiki
2) handling multi-language issues such as highlighting article-for-deletion
discussions for each language in which the article exists,

Balazs,
It's interesting that you feel that way, because I disagree entirely. Out

- decentralized development so that people can write new gadgets and extensions
easier like firefox jetpack for example.. Each project needs its own editing
and feedback tools that it would happily design on wiki in collaborative fashion
- means to encourage more content
I expect this would be an interesting meeting if people are interested in
