Hello, GLAM and Edu people,

The Wikimedia Foundation will start a global consultation about communication on the wikis. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication. We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, regardless of their experience, their skills, or their devices. Learn more at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_consultation_2019

Two requests specifically for you:

1) How does your group communicate?

Is it all on wiki, or do you use Facebook, e-mail, in-person meetings, or other tools? I know that different GLAM and Edu partners have specific needs and workflows. Please document your group's current practices at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_consultation_2019/Tools_in_use (Hint: use the visual editor to add information, links, and new rows to the tables.)

2) Can you organize a discussion with your community about communication?

Please ask your group to tell you what they need to talk about, what works for them now, and what problems they have. Then please post a summary of that discussion for everyone to read on MediaWiki.org. It's helpful if you sign up at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk_pages_consultation_2019#Participate

If you have any questions, please ask on the main talk page for the project: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Talk_pages_consultation_2019

THANK YOU!

Sherry Snyder (WhatamIdoing)

Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
