I did not watch the video, but I did participate in the community
process and still have an iron barnstar sent by Philippe - my children
are still impressed.
Concerning the process itself:
1) It was good that the process was structured from the very beginning:
there was a pre-process which helped to shape the task forces.
2) There was little to not at all coordination between different task
forces. Not sure it was necessary, since it was pure brainstorming, but
still wanted to mention.
3) It was not clear (at least not to me) what would happen beyond the
task force round. I tried to ask around but never got a satisfactory
answer. May be I just asked wrong people.
4) There was a bit too much noise (compared to signal), and organization
in the task forces was a bit chaotic - for example, in the task force I
was mainly active at somebody was (or claimed she was) appointed the
task force coordinator, but she disappeared after a week and never came
back, so that I took on the coordination myself and delivered some
summary to the second round - but nobody ever talked to me about this.
5) It is good that Liquid Threads died. They should not be ever used
again for such process.
6) Despite some deficiencies I listed above it was definitely fun to
work on the strategic plan, and also I had an impression we are really
shaping things up, not merely rubber-stumping some pre-determined ideas.
And that was indeed a community-driven process, and I mean the whole
community, not just the English Wikipedia.
Cheers
Yaroslav
