Dear MR*,
I hope this finds you all well and looking forward to this Year of the
Hare. With help from Lodewijk, I have prettified and published our
notes:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Working_group_meeting_2011-1-29I believe we all have more work to do on the tough topics we adopted:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Working_group_meeting_2011-1-29/tough_topics
I also added section names and shared Alice's work:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Working_group_meeting_2011-1-29/topic_ideas
And shared a simplified uncolored version of the matrix, along with
our longer summarized topic list:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Movement_roles_project/Working_group_meeting_2011-1-29/matrix
This seemed like the least-controversial subset of the matrix work:
If everyone is comfortable sharing our colorization directly, perhaps
we can directly swap in the colored version for the black-and-white.
However, we may want to do this separately with more explicit context
and explanation, as Delphine has suggested, including
- what it means when a row is all green; how to improve on that
- how to designate disagreements about color; what they mean
- how to distinguish between "current status" and "ideal status in
the movement we are imagining together"
Regards,
SJ
* PS - can we be the Movement Roles Official Work-Regiment? It would
be much more fun to say.

Hi guys,
I just wanted to briefly recap the work we've planned for this week,
post some relevant links, and generally give a helpful nudge in the
right direction for the goals we've set. You can look forward to me
doing this at least once a week; try to resist the urge to add me to
your e-mail blacklists. :)
The not-yet-distilled timeline[0] sketched out at the Frankfurt
meeting has two main goals for the coming week:
* An overview with some context for the raw etherpad notes, the whole
of it being transcluded to meta. Jon is waiting for this for his
e-mails to the lists, and the deadline we set was today. Sj, Lodewijk,
I see some work on the wiki—are you guys in touch and still on track
for this?
* Our first weekly topic for discussion, to go out on 10 February, is
the roles matrix. Delphine and Anirudh are the leads for this, with
Sj, Barry, Alice, Jon, and whatever support I can give. I know that
Del sent an e-mail last week and created a placeholder page[1] for the
work; I wikified the raw matrix and put it on a subpage[2] of the
meeting page, and Alice started wikifying our cloud[3] (apparently
with the assistance of an anonymous trainee).
Finally, while the deadline isn't this week, we're shooting for a
solid table of contents for the charter by 18 February. I've started a
page[4] which currently contains the relevant notes from the etherpad
and a link to the list of charter topics[5] on meta; my hope is to
have some structure by this Friday's meeting, so anyone with some time
to help sketch things out is welcome/encouraged/requested/begged to do
so.
Sorry for the somewhat lengthy e-mail—I tried to be brief, but there's
a ton of work to be done.
Cheers,
Austin
