Questions that I'd like to see
discussed on a large scale are:
* Do we want any new projects? Right now? In the future? Ever?
* If so, do we only want projects that follow traditional reference
book models of organizing information? (e.g. Wikiquote, which follows
the model of books of quotations)
* or perhaps only educational projects?
* do all projects have to follow NPOV? What about the other
guidelines: NOR, V?
* do we only want projects we start ourselves, or would we consider
projects started by other organizations?
And yes, this could go on the strategy wiki -- but I don't know of a
good, unstructured place to have a discussion about such things there
(that isn't a specific proposal or strategic objective or whatever).
I'd also like to point out
http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Task_force/Expanding_Content
- a task force to deal with exactly these issues.
Input is always welcomed :)
