Rudy – I'm pretty much in agreement with what you said, it strikes me that WMF and large parts of the Wikimedia movement have underestimated so far the opportunity we have to become an engine of change in this space: there's no other organization or movement at this scale, with an active community, independence from particular interests, and with such an impact on what the world gets to read when it comes to the scholarly literature.

Wikimedia being at the helm of the Initiative for Open Citations shows how much we can leverage our "brand" and push for bipartisan changes that benefit society at large, not just academia.

Very excited to explore new ideas with the rest of this group.
