Hi everyone... again
Wikimedia France is just finishing the process of reorganizing.
I explained in a previous email the process we went through:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2014-April/071080.html
One risk we identified during that process is making the same mistakes
again. This is something we definitely want to avoid.
We also want to work on building on everything we did so far. Improve
how we are organized, have better evaluation of what we do and develop
the tools and processes we need.
With those goals, we believe that we will need a period of time with
as much stability as possible. To ensure that stability, we are going
to try to cap our budget growth to 6% for the next 24 months.
This is a goal we might find ourselves unable to meet it, but we want
to focus on the points described just above and if we put ourselves in
a situation where we keep on growing, we will make it harder for us to
focus on those goals.
This capping up to 6% could be overcome but only through if we
financially valorize volunteering and external partners’ funding for a
specific project. As the funds would be clearly allocated to this
project, we believe it would be easily manageable.
That percentage will allow us to increase our employees salary and
adjust the programs we run and expand their scope a little if we need
to.
But the goal will be to force us to make choices between the programs
we could do and focus on the most efficient ones regarding our
evaluation matrix.
We will try to regularly share our work with the movement so other
organizations can use it and give us feedback.
As usual, if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask them either on
or off list.
All the best,
Christophe HENNER | Vice-Chair
