Hi,
As someone working in the world of municipal archives, I would suggest the
open-source software Archivematica,

Hoi,
For me it is not clear at all that how a long term road map will be of
benefit. Quite to the contrary. I am afraid it will solidify what the WMF
does and remove any benefits of the ability to adapt to changes due to new
points of view. I do understand the need to plan, I understand that

Umm are we looking at a different set of grant funded projects here

Dear J. and Gerard
Firstly, whether or not I have edited a Wikipedia article is not
particularly relevant to the proposition that the Foundation and the
Community would work together better on planning the future of technical
products if the Foundation would publish its roadmap to the Community.
Hoi,
You are not answering the question. You are only producing arguments that
may be meaningful to you but they do not explain why you are interested and
what you do to affect what you aim to achieve.
IMHO it is important for the WMF to concentrate on what it is that we do.
Make it more relevant
"Rogol",
Have you ever edited a Wikipedia article?[1] We are here to build a quality
encyclopedia, not make popcorn!

Gerard,
It isn't personal to me at all, of course. I'm not asking for privileged
access to these plans or my own personal personal copy. I am requesting
that the Foundation publish their medium to long term technical planning,
the technical roadmap if you will, to the community so that the commu
Dear Rogol,
When I check out your profile, you are retired. Maybe you do not know any
more but the WMF has been pretty consistent in the way that it operates
over the years. So in details things change and arguably it could be
different for all kinds of reasons. But as the WMF is not actively going
Fæ, Surely no grant-giving body would even talk to the Foundation if it
could not show them a plan for the medium to long term. For some reason,
the Foundation is consistently unwilling to share this plan with the
Community (its biggest donor in terms both of money and surplus value). I

No need, it's on webarchive:

Unlike Wikimedia projects, Webarchive has a long term plan that one
would expect of a digital archive, so it's a much safer space for
historical documents.
If it is decided not to host these materials on a wiki, whether for
copyright or any other reasons, then someone (either in the Office or
a volunteer) should be designated to retain a copy privately. That

Thank you for bringing this up, Yann. Some relevant context is that Meta
Wiki users considered permitting such files on Meta Wiki a year and a half
ago, and decided not to. The electorate was not very big (14 votes, total),
but it was carefully considered, with compelling arguments made on both
