Hi all,
In preparation for this weekend's meeting, there are a few things that warrant individual review—so we can all start on the same page, as it were.
Although it hasn't changed in a while, for reference, the agenda can be found at http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Agenda_for_MR_workgroup_meeting_2011-1-29/30.
A primary focus, and the one that needs immediate feedback, is on the tough topics, being compiled at http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tough_Topics. Please add to that page as you see fit; I imagine (hope?) it will be frequently edited up to (and probably throughout) the meeting.
If you need reading material on the journey to Frankfurt, there were some great interviews conducted over the past few months:
* Targeted interviews about our initial questions http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Initial_Questions are collected at http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Interviews, along with a couple of self-completed responses at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Initial_Questions/Responses.
* Jon interviewed representatives of a few organizations thought to have some insight http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Peer_organizations, and his bullet points are a concise and easy read.
And finally, there's a collection of assorted background material linked from the meta page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project as well as the index page on the movement roles wiki http://movementroles.wikimedia.org/wiki/Index.
Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend,
Austin
