Hi John,

I don't think there is one central place where this kind of material is organized on a wiki—yet. I know there are a few categories on Wikimedia Commons [0] with materials and submissions, a page on Meta Wiki [1] with a library of EU policy resources, some research on particular topics on Wikilegal [2], and material linked at the end of the position statements at policy.wikimedia.org [3].

If you have time to propose a simple and useful organization system, I think that would be a helpful start.

Thanks for thinking about this.

Best,
Stephen

Hi all

Is there a place where documentation we have around public policy work is kept? I was looking in the Wikimedia Resource Center and it appears there isn't currently a space thats appropriate, is it kept somewhere else?

The things that would be most useful for me are case studies of the projects that have happened and understanding which international agreements support the work of this group? E.g the Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
  • Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
  • Article 26. (1) Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
  • (2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
If a space doesn't exist I'd be very happy to put some time in to help set one up

Thanks

John
