Hi everyone,
the community voting on Wikipedia to the Moon has ended. I announced the
result at yesterday’s User digest session at Gym Palace.
152 unique voters decided between 10 different scenarios. The winning idea
is to send all featured articles and lists to the Moon, with 93 pro votes.
This decision means, that from July 1 on, Wikipedians from all language
communities are invited to work on their best articles and lists, and
submit them to Wikipedia to the Moon. The central site to coordinate
between communities will be Meta-Wiki. Details to follow next week. Please
note that if you have questions about the winning idea and how to work with
it, the best place to go is the project page on Meta-Wiki.
The voting and its result:

Thanks to everyone who voted! We put the proposal up on Meta-Wiki on 24
April. The pages were immediately translated by volunteers into more than
60 languages. Many people engaged in the 6-week-discussion about how (and
if) to work on this together. Out of 17 scenarios, 10 were available in the
voting (past 2 weeks). Now the working phase/editing will be open until 31
October, leaving much time to select and improve content, or solve
challenges along the way.[1]
The goal is to hand over our “Wikipedia time capsule” by 5 December 2016,
which is International Volunteers Day.[2]
Best
Michael
