Dear all,
as SJ summarized on http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Movement_roles#Minutes_and_transcript we discussed some important topics at our last IRC meeting. During our work we have seen that it is neither reasonable nor possible to separate movement roles from other discussions with impact on Wikimedia, the movement and its players or even from other people who are part of the whole thing. We agreed that we want to wrap up this phase of movement roles not without leading to the next stage where these ideas will be gathered and pursued by those who are affected, at places where these discussions already have found more resonance than in the movement roles project.
This needs some follow up and some things to be done. And it has to be done soon if we want to draw a line under this phase of movement roles at the Wikimedia Conference. It's our responsibility, there will be nobody else doing this instead of us.
As some of you may have noticed I've started to clean up the movement roles' pages. There were a lot of moves in the past. We started with the prefix "Movement roles group", switched to "Movement roles project" to end with "Movement roles". There were a lot of simple cosmetical moves too, only to capitalize or de-capitalize words. And nobody ever fixed the remaining redirects or the links on the pages. This made it absolutely impossible to figure out where we have duplicates or missing links, how pages are connected and how to find them. I hope to finish with this tomorrow and let you know.
To collect and arrange the things we agreed to do, I've created http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles/Wrap_up It supports to pick up a smaller tasks, more concrete and most important to prepare a proper finalization. Help is appreciated, please complete and rearrange the list. And choose something you would like to work on the next weeks. ;)
Best, Alice.
